War Is Heavy Metal

Artist-turned-filmmaker George Gittoes traveled to Iraq to find out what soldiers there are listening to. He discovered that much of it is music of their own – recorded in computer studios they’ve assembled in their barracks. Cath Dwyer used Gittoes’ footage to produce a radio piece for ABC Radio National in Australia, from which this piece was adapted. Technical production by Mark Don and Michelle Goldsworthy.
