The War in Iraq was distinguished by the presence of participant-chroniclers as seen first in Gunner Palace and fictionalized by Redacted, as well as two other movies from 2007, Paul Haggis’s In the Valley of Elah, a thriller which involves recovering video data—evidence of torture—from a dead soldier’s cell phone, and Nick Broomfield’s Battle for Haditha, in which an instance of combat was restaged with actual US soldiers. If ordinary combatants were making movies of their experiences, documentary filmmakers were inspired to draw on their own in imagining the war as motion picture simulation.
