PLEASE NOTE: This documentary was created using a wide variety of media, including sources such as off-air and amateur recordings. We feel that the importance of the information more than compensates for the occasional lapse of image quality. Distinguished actors like Robert Duvall, Beau Bridges, and Aaron Eckhart give voice to the poems, stories, essays, letters, and journal entries of people on the frontlines. Weaving these dramatic readings together with interviews with their authors, Operation Homecoming transforms the written word into a living, breathing look at the human side of America's current military conflicts. An honest and intensely personal look at war through firsthand accounts, this groundbreaking documentary adds depth to individual experiences by looking at them within the context of the long and venerable tradition of war writing. By turns "poetic, comic, and chilling" (Variety), this film gives voice to those heroes who have served and lets them share their experiences with the world.
