Synopsis: This Is Falluja. Be Careful Of Falluja.
An uncensored look at the war on the ground.
Occupation: Dreamland is an unflinchingly candid and darkly humorous portrait of a squad of American soldiers deployed in the doomed Iraqi city of Falluja during the winter of 2004. The film chronicles the daily life of young soldiers on patrol in an environment of low-intensity conflict creeping steadily towards catastrophe. Occupation: Dreamland documents the city's waning stability before the final Marine assaults of 2004.
Filmmaker's Garrett Scott and Ian Olds were given unrestricted access to operations of the Army's 82nd Airborne. The result is a revealing, sometimes surprising look at Army life and the complexity of American war in the 21st Century.
