This documentary surveys the physical and emotional cost of war through soldiers' memories of the day in Iraq when they survived near-fatal wounds. In a war that has left 22,000 wounded, with more than half the injuries too severe to permit a return to active military service, the documentary looks at the advances in military medicine that allow soldiers to return home and celebrate what they call their "alive day." James Gandolfini conducts interviews in which the soldiers share their feelings on their future, their severe disabilities and their devotion to the country.
This documentary is currently being shown on HBO. It really lets you see what these wounded soldiers are going through after surviving in Iraq. Gandolfini does a really good job at just letting these soldiers talk and tell their stories. If you have HBO, definitely check it out. Its amazing to see what these soldiers have to go through and have gone through with their injuries.
