"The documentary “Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience” pulls us into the lives of soldiers through their own recollections, scribbled, keyboarded, dictated into compendiums of heartbreak, comedy, meditation and first-hand history that exposes the tragedy and absurdity of war."

Jim Keogh , Worcester Telegram & Gazette News

“Portrays combat as such a heightened sensory experience that it demands to be written about, and they suggest that war can turn ordinary men into latter-day Hemingways… Operation Homecoming helps you realize how successfully the Pentagon’s campaign to keep images of combat and of the dead and dying out of the news media has insulated the American public from the Iraq war’s tragic reality.”
Stephen Holden, New York Times

“Poetic, comic and chilling.”
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
