BROTHERS AT WAR is an intimate portrait of an American family
during a turbulent time. Jake Rademacher sets out to understand the experience,
sacrifice, and motivation of his two brothers serving in Iraq. The film follows
Jake’s exploits as he risks everything—including his life—to tell his brothers’
story. Often humorous, but sometimes downright lethal, BROTHERS AT WAR is a
remarkable journey where Jake embeds with four combat units in Iraq.
Unprecedented access to U.S. and Iraqi combat units take him behind the
camouflage curtain with secret reconnaissance troops on the Syrian border, into
sniper "Hide Sites" in the Sunni Triangle, through raging machine gun battles
with the Iraqi Army. Ultimately, the film follows his brothers home where
separations and life-threatening work ripple through their parents, siblings,
wives and children. BROTHERS AT WAR provides a rare look at the bonds and
service of our soldiers on the frontlines and the profound effects their service
has on the loved ones they leave behind. “This is a
documentary that celebrates the courage and integrity of the
American Soldier and the American military family. It is
also a film about a man's love and respect for his two
brothers and his dedication to telling their story. A great
film that I am proud to be a part of.” Gary Sinise,
Actor, Presidential Citizens Medal Recipient and the movie's
Executive Producer
“You, sir, are a filmmaker ... one of the most important
films I've ever seen.” Jon Voight, Academy Award®
winning actor
