A montage of stories about U.S. soldiers fighting in the Iraq conflict, focusing on the modern forms of media covering the war.
Inspired by real events and the ever-emerging realities of an on-going war, REDACTED explores the consequences of placing a group of young American soldiers into a morally ambiguous universe.
