Editorial Review: Product Description: The stories are those of a half-dozen american heroes ordinary men & women who heeded the call for military service in iraq. This charts recruitment & training combat homecoming & the struggle to reintegrate with families & communities. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 09/26/2006 Run time: 78 minutes Rating: R Amazon.com: Shocking and heartbreaking, The Ground Truth is an Iraq war documentary that is truly essential viewing. A story of the U.S. battle against an often-phantom insurgency, told from the perspective of ordinary Americans who found themselves participating in a daily slaughter of innocent Iraqi civilians, The Ground Truth is the view kept off American televisions since 2003. The bombings, shootings, scenes of mistreatment of civilians, and countless, bloodied bodies of children, women, and unarmed men specifically targeted by U.S. troops, should rattle anyone with eyes to see. But the film’s many interviews with veterans, in which they describe an American war machine that chews up young people and abandons them to their physical and psychological wounds, are also stunning in their emotional clarity and intensity. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Everyone American should see this movieThis tells what we do not see in the mainstream media. The experiences of the young people coming back from Iraq. Every American should see this documentary Rating: - Essential truths"The Ground Truth," basically a compendium of short-take interviews with Iraq occupation veterans and family members, interspersed with some war footage you will not have seen before, is riveting, despite the format. More than that, it tells the truth of that war and occupation more honestly and completely than you'll ever see on CNN, Fox or the broadcast networks. If you vote, you should see this film. Rating: - Reality Check of Iraq WarGround Truth provides an honest insight of the tragic and stupid nature of the Iraq "war". It reaffirms what most Americans know about how we as a people have been duped by a small number of "neocon" radicals. The human & economic cost is borne out by "The Ground Truth" with the focus on the terrible impact on our military, & their families. What is missing is an answer to how the American people can regain positive control of their government. This is a must see for all Americans! ...

I thank them for serving, I am sorry for their injuries, yet I cannot forgive their point of view. If you want Liberal garbage, this is it. Too bad I was forced to give it one star. Gary Rating: - One sided has got nothing to do with it...What makes this film work is that it allows the stories to be told entirely by the soldiers themselves, without fancy graphics, jump cuts, or voice over. It's a tribute to the work of director Foulkrod and editor Hall that this complicated story plays out so smoothly. The soldiers interviewed are cut from ordinary Joe cloth and are the kind of people that grew up on your block, that you went to school with, and that you've worked with. Stories told like this just don't get any more compelling. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
