One statement in this film bordered on the prophetic. The narrator says, "War only takes what we let go of." Coupled with a wry statement made earlier in the film, "Soldiers risk their lives defending the civil rights we've already given up to protect ourselves." You can sense the futility in trying to rationally reconcile or correlate the defense of freedom and democracy (especially in Iraq today) with the protection of civil liberties back home.
Many will soon have an opportunity to see this film. Completed in July of 2006, the 80-minute, black and white production is now being submitted to festivals and seeking distribution. It has been accepted into the FAIF Festival (Foundation for the Advancement of Independent Films) in Los Angeles, and the Austin Film Festival in mid-October. A Pax Americana Pictures LLC production, the film was written and directed by Dale Kutzera. Greg Reeves, P. James Keitel, and Dale Kutzera produced the film photographed by Mark Parry and edited by Joseph Butler.
