Soundtrack to War

Director in Person
Directed by George Gittoes.
Australia, 2004, color, 95 min.

Soundtrack To War is a raw and intimate look at the use of music during the Iraq War. American tanks and helicopters were equipped with speakers in order to broadcast a soundtrack to the invasion. The battle-weary American soldiers who fought with these units will forever link these music tracks with the events they witnessed at the time. Australian filmmaker George Gittoes bypassed US military minders, gaining a unique level of trust on the frontlines of Baghdad as American tanks and troops pushed their way into the city.
