The People Behind Body of War
The documentary "Body of War" follows soldier Tomas Young upon his return from Iraq as he copes with recovering from a shot to the collarbone that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Young and one of the film's producers, Phil Donahue, sat down with Reel Progress to talk about what they hope audiences learn from their film, declining media coverage of the Iraq war, and what it was like to work with Eddie Vedder on the film's music.
