Soundtrack to war




Soundtrack to War is a 90 minute documentary by Australian war artist George Gittoes. Filmed throughout 2003-2004, Gittoes bypassed the U.S.military's media lockdown on the war in Iraq to capture an authentic account of the human experience of the war. Gittoes interviewed American soldiers deployed in Iraq to create an account of the role of music in the contemporary battlefield.
The documentary offer unvarnished insights into the complex meeting of youth culture and the American military machine. Here, music matters and Soundtrack to War homes in on its use in combat.
