  • The War Tapes és una pel·lícula documental estatunidenca de l'any 2006, dirigida per . És el primer film documental que tracta la amb imatges enregistrades pels mateixos soldats, tres membres del Cos de la Guàrdia Nacional de New Hampshire, abans, durant i després del seu desplegament a l'Iraq un any després de la invasió, entre el mes de març de l'any 2004 i el febrer del 2005. Els tres soldats amb càmeres que figuren en la pel·lícula són l'especialista Michael Moriarty, que es va allistar en un esclat de patriotisme després de l'11 de Setembre i va demanar que se l'enviés a Iraq; el sergent Stephen Pink, allistat per poder pagar-se la universitat, i el sergent Zack Bazzi. Altres dos soldats, el sergent Duncan Domey i l'especialista Brandon Wilkins, també van filmar tots els seus desplegaments per a la pel·lícula. En total, es van repartir càmeres a 17 soldats i es van rodar a prop de 800 hores a l'Iraq. Les entrevistes amb els soldats i les seues famílies sumen unes 200 hores addicionals de vídeo. El "repartiment" es va estretir a tres soldats per al muntatge final del film, van ser escollits perquè la directora i els productors els van considerar com els "personatges principals". La pel·lícula va guanyar el premi al Millor Documental Internacional al de maig de 2006 i al Millor Documental Internacional al el juliol de 2006. L'any 2007, es va llançar en format DVD. A més, a més, és possiblement el resultat més innovador del programa de "reporter encastat" que acompanya una companyia de l'exèrcit sobre el terreny. En aquest cas, però, el reporter no va anar a l'Iraq, sinó que va proporcionar càmeres als soldats, i va orientar-los sobre la filmació a través de la missatgeria instantània i el correu electrònic.

The film is the first documentary account of the 2003 invasion of Iraq to be produced by the soldiers themselves. The film (released commercially in 2006) follows three New Hampshire Army National Guard soldiers before, during, and after their deployment to Iraq about a year after the invasion. Their unit was Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion, 172nd Infantry Regiment (Mountain), which deployed from March 2004 to February 2005. The three soldiers with cameras featured in the film are SPC Michael Moriarty who signed up in a burst of patriotism after 9/11 and asked to be shipped to Iraq. His colleagues are SGT Stephen Pink, who joined the National Guard to help pay for college, and SGT Zack Bazzi. Two other soldiers, SGT Duncan Domey and SPC Brandon Wilkins, also filmed their entire deployments for the film. In all, 17 soldiers were given cameras and recorded 800 hours of tape in Iraq. Stateside interviews with the soldiers and their families made up an additional 200 hours of tape. The "cast" was narrowed to three soldiers for the final feature-length film. They were chosen in part because they were seen by the director and producers as the "main characters". The film won the prize for Best International Documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival in May 2006 and also Best International Documentary at BRITDOC in July 2006. The documentary was released for sale on DVD in North America on May 15, 2007. Moreover, it is possibly the most innovative result of the embedded reporter program. In this case the reporter did not go to Iraq, but provided cameras to the soldiers, and provided direction on filming to them via instant messaging and email. (en)
