Sand Castle
The story follows a young soldier, and his introduction into the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Based on true events, it bears witness to the destruction and horrors of war. A soldier enlists just before the 9/11. He is not a brave man--simply volunteering to defend freedom. Arriving in Iraq in 2003, just after the occupation of Bagdad, with a few soldiers of his infantry platoon, he is sent to provide water to a village whose infrastructure was destroyed. Simple things however, such as water transportation, water distribution and the reconstruction of the plumbing became a challenge in war environment. This story is focused on a young, fairly introspective young man who had joined the Army Reserves to pay for college before any thought of war or 9/11 was apparent. He was not prepared for the difficulty of deploying to Iraq and the constant danger and loneliness, even intentionally injuring himself to avoid the fight. The viewer watches as he progresses through his deployment and learns to deal with the challenges that abound.
