Bad Voodoo's War

Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Films Media Group (Added Author). Public Broadcasting Service (U.S.) (Added Author).

Summary: As a small part of the 2007 American military surge in Iraq, a group of National Guard infantrymen who call themselves The Bad Voodoo Platoon was deployed to run convoy security missions. Capturing the humanity and the grim realities of the Iraq war, this Frontline episode incorporates first-person accounts from Bad Voodoo soldiers and video from cameras given to them so that they could tell their own story of the conflict. As a result, viewers will closely follow platoon members through the perilous journeys and daily grinds of their tour of duty.
