The War Tapes is Operation Iraqi Freedom as filmed by Sergeant Steve Pink, Sergeant Zack Bazzi and Specialist Mike Moriarty. These and other soldiers captured over 800 hours of footage, providing a glimpse of their lives in the midst of war. The result is a raw portrait of three men as they face, and struggle to understand, their duty.
Steve is a wisecracking carpenter who aspires to be a writer. Zack is a Lebanese-American university student who loves to travel and is fluent in Arabic. Mike is a father and resolute patriot who rejoined the army after 9/11. Each leaves a woman behind—a girlfriend, a mother, and a wife.
The film, directed by Deborah Scranton, and produced by Robert May (THE FOG OF WAR) and Steve James (HOOP DREAMS), won the award for Best Documentary at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival and Best International Documentary at the inaugural 2006 BritDoc Festival.
