'Danger Close', the documentary that grew from my filming of a fire-fight between U.S. Army Paratroopers and Al Qaida is having its film festival debut this Friday in Washington, D.C. 

The GI Film Festival, at the Carnegie Institute, will screen 'Danger Close' at 3:30pm Friday . 

David and I will be there to take part in a discussion after the screening. 

Be warned, 'Danger Close' is not for the faint of heart.  It is real live combat that I filmed--the bullets, blood and bad guys are all real.

'Danger Close' is also one of the most pure forms of documentary you may ever see.  I captured the fire-fight as it erupted around me and conducted the interviews with the Paratroopers who won the fight the next day.  No studio inteviews. No re-enactments.  No script.  No pre-determined plot.  And no idea if I would even live through it.   

Just the story of a group the Paratroopers who literally stood on the wall and fought the enemies of Western Civilization. 

Other Iraq documentaries at the festival include:

This War:  Memories of Iraq

Brothers at War

Year at Danger

Last 600 Meters

 

The Outside the Wire Project would not exist without the support of our generous patrons.

Freedom isn't free, and neither is traveling to Iraq and embedding with our troops to present an in-depth look at their deployments.

Please help support Outside the Wire by purchasing a DVD !
