In 2004, writer/director Zachary Iscol fought as a U.S. Marine in Al Anbar, Iraq’s most violent province. Five years later, Al Anbar has been transformed into one of the safest, but not because the insurgency was defeated. When Zach returns, he begins to confront the awful dilemmas he faced fighting an enemy that hid among civilians. Profoundly honest, this documentary explores these dilemmas from all sides to reveal a simple but surprising truth about the nature of war and peace.
