• THE COST OF WAR
• Never before has truth suffered so greatly in time of war. This documentary seeks to give voice to truth through the experiences and observations of soldiers, veterans, and their families.The Cost of War offers only a brief glimpse of the war in Iraq and its incalculable human, personal, psychological and social costs, but it comes from a critical source - the perspective of those who have experienced war first hand.In The Cost of War, Iraq war veterans recount their views prior to deployment,their experiences in Iraq, and how those experiences changed them. Families and loved ones of those called on to fight in Iraq recount how the experiences of their loved ones have affected those they left behind.Veterans of Korea, Vietnam and Operation Desert Storm provide a perspective on these current wars, informed by their own experiences in those earlier conflicts and the truths they came to know.With an understanding of true patriotism born of experience, these men and women explain why they reject the claim that supporting the war is"supporting the troops”. They represent a long established and rapidly growing group of service members, veterans and military families who challenge the notion that blind loyalty in time of war is the mark of the patriot.The Cost of War explores the costs - in lives ended, families destroyed,health sacrificed and dreams lost - of waging war. It is not a pretty story with flags waving and music playing. It is the truth. It is a truth that every citizen of this country who really seeks to "support the troops" must learn.
• How the story ends is up to us.
• The Iraq Veterans Assistance Fund: Half of all donations made to purchase The Cost of War are being used to provide direct services and assistance to Iraq veterans. The remaining funds are being used to cover travel expenses for veterans to attend screenings and participate in panel discussions afterwards, to fund two additional documentaries including the "The Cost of War 2" which will feature more Iraq veterans and their families, and to recover duplication and production costs of "The Cost of War."
