Brian de Palma (Scarface, Carlitos way, ...) made a new movie. It´s called "redacted" and it is the most provocativ anti-war propaganda out there so far.

A fictional documentary that shows nothing but the true face of war nowadays. De Palma has said that essentially everything he has put into "Redacted" can be found on the Internet: The director trawled the Web, examining pictures, videos and journal entries made by soldiers, looking at Islamic fundamentalist web sites and, perhaps most significantly, locating numerous photographs of Iraq war victims that would never show up in the mainstream press.

The film won the silver lion at the 2007 Biennale. Despite international honors the film caused a wave of protests in the us, where conservatis push for a ban of the movie.
