IVAW Members featured in new documentary

On The Bridge: Documentary by Olivier Morel Wendy, born Mexican and sent to Iraq at 19, saw the hell of war in a combat support hospital; Jason lives with his medication, his refuge in songs, his poignant lyrics and haunting voice; the angel-faced Ryan's rage and deep political about-turn; Lisa, a police officer in one of America's roughest neighborhoods of Chicago, traumatized by her presence at Abu Ghraib; David, an officer who thought he was immune to conflict after eight deployments, who ends up quitting the army after Iraq; Vinny's multiple lives, torn between loyalty to the Marines and disgust with what he saw and was ordered to do. This film is haunted: by the figure of an "unknown soldier," Jeff, who incarnates the 23 veterans who commit suicide every day in a (still) scandalous relative indifference in America today.
