Page 2 of 23 THE WAR TAPES Synopsis Straight from the front lines in Iraq, THE WAR TAPES is the first war movie filmed by soldiers themselves. While thousands have died in Iraq, hundreds of thousands have returned alive. THE WAR TAPES is the untold story of the soldiers that never make the evening news or the morning paper. It is the story shared by every surviving warrior in history—an insight into war from those who have been there.
