Synopsis

Ten families read letters from their loved ones who were killed during Operation Iraqi Freedom in this HBO documentary directed by Oscar and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Bill Couturie, known for *Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam*. The film features photos of the soldiers in both military and civilian life, as family members read the final correspondence received from Iraq and share their thoughts and memories about the fallen troops and the realities of war.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
