“Brothers At War Movie”

“Brothers At War Movie”

I watched BrothersatWarmovie.com a few nights ago and I have to say of every documentary I have ever watched about our military this one was one of the best I’ve seen.  It is the story of Jake Rademacher whose two brothers are serving with the US Army in Iraq.  From the moment this film starts I could clearly see how proud he is of both of them and also the desire to see what it was that they go through.  This documentary also shows the family side and what they go through when a loved one is deployed.  One seen in the film when Jakes brother comes home from deployment and his young daughter doesn’t know who he his really pulls at your heart strings.  I strongly recommend having a box of Kleenex near you when you watch this.

There are also some real funny moments in this film such as the scenes with the US ARMY advisors training the IRAQ troops and soldiers discussing The OC but for the two hours I watched this film it actually makes you feel like you are there (More so than picking up a copy of Call of Duty) this is not a Hollywood Movie, this is real.  You get a glimpse inside look at what our men and women are doing over there and what their families go through at home.

I’ve seen many movies about war from all eras, and I’m not going to slam any of them, but the big difference is THIS is not a movie, this movie allows you to walk in the shoes of our heroes as we watch Jake take his cameras outside the wire.  The biggest thing I notice is how proud these guys are to have him there, how they don’t treat him any different and take him on as if he was fresh out of army training.  These men and women want their story told and this film did an amazing job of doing that.

I have been speaking with Jake on Face Book and if you order the DVD off the Brothers at War site and put in the code “thankasoldier’’ you will received 10% of the DVD.  I think every civilian should see this film and I’m very proud to be able to help this in anyway possible.  With this 10% one dollar from each DVD purchased is going to go to HeroToHero.US and Operation Gratitude

Synopsis:

BrothersatWarmovie.com is an intimate portrait of an American family during a turbulent time.  Jake Rademacher sets out to understand the experience, sacrifice, and motivation of his two brothers serving in Iraq. The film follows Jake’s exploits as he risks everything—including his life—to tell his brothers’ story.  Often humorous, but sometimes downright lethal, BROTHERS AT WAR is a remarkable journey where Jake embeds with four combat units in Iraq. Unprecedented access to U.S. and Iraqi combat units take him behind the camouflage curtain with secret reconnaissance troops on the Syrian border, into sniper “Hide Sites” in the Sunni Triangle, through raging machine gun battles with the Iraqi Army.  Ultimately, the film follows his brothers home where separations and life-threatening work ripple through their parents, siblings, wives and children.  BROTHERS AT WAR provides a rare look at the bonds and service of our soldiers on the frontlines and the profound effects their service has on the loved ones they leave behind

“”Brothers At War” was one of the hardest yet most healing movies I have ever watched. I had hoped it would give me insight to what my son had experienced in Iraq. I hoped it would tell me some of my son’s war stories he never got to come home to share. I did not expect this film to also tell some of my story also. This film is about how war and deployments affect an entire family.I owe Jake Rademacher a debt of gratitude for making this film. I hope some day to thank him in person…”

“Brothers at War celebrates the courage and integrity of the American Soldier and the American military family. It is also a film about a man’s love and respect for his two brothers and his dedication to telling their story. A great film that I am proud to be a part of.”
Gary Sinise, Actor, Presidential Citizens Medal Recipient
