Well, if God speaks to Bush and asks him to go to war, why doesn’t God speak to Al Franken too? Coincidentally, the film opens with a series of shots of God himself!

Extremely moving, THE BLOOD OF MY BROTHER probably has the most intense footage of the war in Iraq ever put on film. In the real footage, a group of people target an American helicopter with a rocket launcher. The helicopter goes down and for a few minutes, its total mayhem in the streets. The way the action was filmed is amazing ... it makes you feel that you were there! The documentary isn't flawless; while the main story of young boy who lost his brother is profoundly touching and revolting, the doc goes all over the place and included by far too many narrative items. War footage, interviews with the family of the young dead guys, an American military raid, etc. For example, at some point we see a sheep being sacrificed and, near the end of the film, a young girl talk about the fact that she used to like housework and that she didn't have anything to do outside the house. How are those related to the main subject of the film? Nonetheless, the film is worth seeing for it’s unflinching footage, yet it needed a more lucid story structure.
