Excerpts:
“The War Tapes,” which made its theatrical debut last year and won the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival award for best documentary, will air tomorrow on the Military Channel, A Discovery Channel affiliate.
After “The War Tapes” was screened before an audience that included members of New Hampshire’s National Guard, a major general told May that the documentary should be required viewing for anyone who has been to war.
In making “The War Tapes,” May said the directors and producers followed one golden rule: show what it’s like to walk a mile in soldiers’ boots.
“When the soldiers saw it once they got back we asked, ‘Did we tell the story you set out to tell?’” he said. “They all agreed that that’s the unfiltered story.”
