Gunner Palace - a film by Mike Tucker and Petra Epperlein

"GUNNER PALACE IS A MOVIE NO ONE SHOULD MISS.
Unforgettable.  A raw, intimate, and improbably funny portrait of the situation in Iraq in the year after President Bush declared that 'Major Combat' was over.  Gunner Palace is so startling because it suggests - it shows - just how complicated the reality of this war has been
."
- A.O. Scott, THE NEW YORK TIMES

"Riveting! An indispensable record of the war in Iraq, because it comes from the men who lived it."
- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

"No matter how you feel about whatís going on in Iraq, this is a must see. Rips away the headlines to reveal the humanity behind the conflict."
- Todd David Schwartz, CBS RADIO

"A striking new documentary that shows the war in a way it's not been seen before: from the ground up."
- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES

"Gunner Palace" is a ground-level documentary, messy and immediate, about the daily life of a combat soldier in Iraq. This film is so valuable. Not because it argues a position about the war and occupation, but because it simply goes and observes as soldiers work and play, talk and write letters home and, on a daily basis, risk their lives in sudden bursts of violence"
- Roger Ebert - CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
