Redacted

A fictional story inspired by true events, REDACTED is a cinematic rallying cry from one of film greatest provocateurs, Brian De Palma. REDACTED radically engages viewers in the way images and information is disseminated in a time of war. A profound meditation on the way information is packaged, distributed and received in an era with infinite channels of communication, REDACTED exposes the extreme disconnect between the manipulation of images and information and the truth, especially timely as opposition to the Iraq War continues to mount. Centered around a small group of American soldiers stationed at a checkpoint in Iraq REDACTED utilizes multiple points of view, balancing the experiences of these young men under duress and the media with those of the local Iragi people caught in between illuminating how each have been deeply affected by the Iraq war and the implications of redacting or editing on all of us. A passionate anti-war film, Brian De Palma REDACTED is a thrilling return to form the filmmaker and an urgent call to put an end to the current conflict in Iraq.
