Documentary

Filmmaker Richard Robbins, in conjunction with the National Endowment for the Arts, combines discussions about first-hand narratives of war throughout history with dramatic readings of autobiographical pieces written by American soldiers during the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. The historical discussion reaches back to the Greek epic "The Iliad." The staged readings are performed by actors who include Robert Duvall, John Krasinski and Aaron Eckhart.
