SOUNDTRACK TO WAR
by
Director/Producer/Cinematographer
George Gittoes

American culture came to Iraq wired into its tanks 
and helicopters -- a live soundtrack to war with lyrics 
such as "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" that are forever 
linked to the violent events they accompanied. Gittoes' 
film takes us into spontaneous performances creating 
music in the hell of war. Gittoes travelled alone to Iraq 
four times between March 2003 and May 2004 to 
capture the footage for this documentary and images 
for his multimedia art practice.
