Battle of Fallujah
Join us as filmmaker David Taylor shows excerpts from his award-winning documentary on the Battle of Fallujah, Iraq. The film illustrates some of the most intense combat of the Iraqi war and is told through the eyes of the Marines who were in the middle of the fight. It also reflects the pressures on the families left behind. Lieutenant General Richard Natonski, who led the initial march to Baghdad and was then tasked with liberating Fallujah, will join David to describe the challenges of leading men and women into war.
