The Blood of My Brother: A Story of Death in Iraq (2005)
Truth of human nature
I was a bit worried to partake in this journey... assuming I would be bombarded with an agenda and shock value for the sake of disturbance. But, during and upon reflection, I was extremely impressed with the objective and beautiful (emotionally and visually) portrayal of real lives being affected in Iraq through this engaging and bold documentary. I was not only touched during, but for months after and beyond. It really makes you understand and think intensely about the human element... the people involved, without a screaming agenda. You can't help but relate in a very real way to the characters in this film... through such foreign situations that we'll never be exposed to as comfortable Americans. A clearly quietly courageous, selfless, curious and committed film-maker.
