In 2004 Michael Franti decided to ‘walk
his talk’ and traveled to the war zones of Iraq, Israel and the Occupied
Palestinian Territories. This wasn’t a USO green zone sponsored visit –

the red-zoned, war torn neighborhoods of Baghdad, the West Bank and Gaza
Strip armed with only a guitar, video cameras and the intent to
experience first hand the human cost of war. Michael Franti's album: Yell Fire! |

Occupation: Dreamland (DVD)Starring: Matthew Bacik, Chris Corcione Director: Ian Olds, Garrett Scott |
| In January, 2004, in Al-Falluja, Iraq, a documentary film crew follows an infantry squad of the 82nd Airborne, US Army. Cameras accompany the squad of seven on day and night patrols, as they watch their backs, kick down doors, search for weapons, interrogate women, detain a few people, and listen to the complaints of locals. At their barracks, a former Baathist retreat called Dreamland, the men talk: about why they enlisted, civilian prospects, feelings about the war and Iraqis, where they were when a comrade died a few weeks before. |
