I am thrilled to announce that Brothers at War is now available on DVD! You may remember back when I saw it in the theater, and now I will be buying it to watch at my leisure.BROTHERS AT WAR (www.brothersatwarmovie.com), a brother’s-eye view of today’s US soldier overseas, debuts Jan. 12, 2010, on DVD from Summit Entertainment (www.summit-ent.com) alongside the award-winning HURT LOCKER, with an exciting list of bonus features.
Moved by the film, Gary Sinise signed on as executive producer. This first-person account of why soldiers go to war (and go back), also reveals the wives’ and children’s sacrifices, insights so true to troops and families that the Veterans Administration is looking into building a curriculum around it.
In BROTHERS AT WAR, filmmaker Jake Rademacher of Decatur, Illinois, twice embeds with his two brothers’ units in Iraq, filming their returns to the US and subsequent return overseas. Military viewers, from the under-reported National Guard to Marines and Army, gave major thumbs-up to the first war film in years to “get” the soldiers’ and families’ sacrifices.
Often humorous but sometimes downright lethal, BROTHERS AT WAR is the remarkable journey of a brother willing to risk it all, who gains unprecedented access to US and Iraqi combat units. Rademacher goes behind the camouflage curtain with secret reconnaissance troops on the Syrian border, into sniper "Hide Sites" in the Sunni Triangle and through raging machine gun battles with the Iraqi Army.
