Body of War (2007)

Body of War is an intimate and transformational feature documentary about the true face of war today and Tomas' coming-home story as he evolves into a new person, coming to terms with his disability and finding his own unique, passionate voice against the war. He's only 25 years old, when he's paralyzed from a bullet to his spine, wounded after serving in Iraq for less than a week.
As he lay in his hospital bed, unable to move, Tomas learned of the countless injuries and deaths afflicting hundreds of thousands in Iraq. In the process, he became one of the nation's most ardent opponents of the Iraq invasion.



Body of War is a naked, honest portrayal of what it's like inside the body, heart, and soul of this extraordinary and heroic young man.
Unapologetically political, this intimate and heart wrenching profile of an Iraq veteran may be rough around the edges but takes a potent stance with determination and compassion.
The editing is sharp and potent. The music, especially the two new songs by Eddie Vedder, works in profound harmony with the powerful images on the screen.
