Synopsis:
THE SOLDIER'S TALE (2008) is an exquisitely crafted documentary about the Iraq War that is authentic and personal and takes us places no journalistic or politically-driven film could go. Many things happen in the film: Sergeant R, who approaches director Allen on a plane headed for the U.S., carries a laptop full of electronic memories shot by soldiers themselves, the digital “war porn” they capture on smart phones and trade like baseball cards. Months later, the soldier mails her a CD with all his images. The two meet again in a motel somewhere in the U.S., and as he narrates the war for Allen and her cinematographer, she recognizes his war is not over. His soul is shattered, but Sergeant R is going back to Iraq.
