Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience

Apolitical, but not very effective documentary on war. Some of the stories read are really well written, but the visual side of the stories isn't that good. Works better as a commercial for the book, than a standalone movie.

Usually when a movie or documentary is made that revolves around written work it's the re-enactments or footage used when the reading is done that can make or break it. Operation Homecoming packs powerful writing and the footage used during varies from comic-book animation to surreal re-enactment and all of it is impressive. This comes together to make a powerful and compelling documentary, without political bias beyond what the soldiers think, about what soldiers in Iraq experience.
