In March of 2004 a Pennsylvania filmmaker was activated with his National Guard unit and deployed to Iraq. During the next twelve months he would document his unique experiences as his platoon was tasked with the politically charged mission of searching for the infamous weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). The search would take them from the heart of Baghdad to rural Iraqi farms. Land Of Confusion offers a never-before- seen account of working with the, then secretive, Iraq Survey Group (ISG) as they search for the evidence that Saddam had the WMDs. The film reveals the extraordinary perspective of soldiers on the ground in Iraq and goes far beyond what the conventional mainstream media shows audiences.
As more unfolds about the war and it’s politics, the opinions and attitudes of the Pennsylvania soldiers evolve throughout their deployment.
The filmmaker’s constantly poised camera explores a side of the war that few people have seen and even fewer understand.
