It is not uncommon for Hollywood to put as much effort in editing a trailer as they do the whole movie.

But this, is not a trailer. 

The video is from one sequence of one episode of the upcoming DVD.

I know what some of you are asking-- "JD, I thought this was going to be out by now.  What gives?" 

Lets just say an interesting partnership, some tapes going MIA, and having to scare up a Beta SP deck to daisy chain into my computer editing system. 

The 2005 DVD is still available and the new stuff will make a lot more sense to those who saw the original Outside The Wire.

Help JD get back to Iraq!  Buy a DVD or Contribute below.

JD is currently editing the follow-up to his 2005-2006 documentary Outside The Wire.  He will return to Iraq to shoot another documentary as soon as it is released.

We all know that freedom is not free--and neither is reporting from Iraq.

Each digital tape capturing the heroic efforts of Soldiers and Marines costs $7.  JD uses almost 100 tapes on each trip.  One DVD buys one tape that will permanently capture what the media refuses to cover.

As you know JD spends his time in Iraq with the Soldiers and Marines doing the work Outside The Wire. That means hundred and thousands of dollars of equipment and gear gets damaged.  Three dollars buys a new protective lens cover.  Fifty dollars buys a pair of ballistic glasses.  Just to get there, the airfare costs $1,500.

It all helps and it is all needed to tell the story that is not being told.

If you have the desire and means to contribute more and be a co-producer please contact JD via email.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and any support you can give.
