The War Game (1968)

Director: Peter Watkins

Cast: Michael Aspel, Peter Graham, Kathy Staff, Peter Watkins

• DVD review by Tim O'Neil

  Featured Article

  

  The skill and imagination with which The War Game believably crafts a disaster narrative from the days and weeks immediately preceding and following a nuclear attack on Britain are such that it feels convincingly real -- a shrewd and somewhat uncharacteristic precedent for the "mockumentary" genre.

The War Tapes (2006)

Director: Deborah Scranton

Cast: Sgt. Stephen Pink, Sgt. Mike Moriarty, Sgt. Zack Bazzi

• Review by Cynthia Fuchs

  PopMatters Pick

  

  'I'm not the media, damn it,' sighs Specialist Mike Moriarty, while also wondering whether 'there's any way to truthfully tell a story without putting a slant on it.'

   
• DVD review by Cynthia Fuchs

  Featured Article

  

  With the soldiers' harrowing imagery and intelligent observations, The War Tapes makes a case that administrators and officers need to treat the war with what Mike Moriarty calls "intensity."

• Review by Cynthia Fuchs

  PopMatters Pick

  

  As Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine's documentary frames it, survival in Uganda's war zones is political and moral, an effort to sort out the frankly unimaginable horrors that have shaped the children's existence.
