I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Thanks for the memories!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

No, I don't think so. The journalist spent 10 years in the war zones where the American forces engaged in the war or a battle with the parties or groups or some ethnic races who were not see eye to eye with the American policy to report, watch and investigate the dirty facts behind the main stream news reports, a profession and a job hired by some news organization, or later it had become his own personal mission trying to expose the war crimes that the American military forces committed, how they killed the innocent villagers in Yemen, Afghanistan and elsewhere without any proof, how they trashed a wedding party, a families reunion night with songs and dancings and started shooting all the people, men, women, kids, the old grandparents.....But you think the American public would care? It's a futile work, a job without any meaning, the best he could get maybe, I say just maybe, won a Pulitzer that only the limited people in the news business would have noticed. Other than that, nobody really cared about it. To most Americans, Veteran Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day.... those days meant nothing but an extra day off, B.B.Q., TV broadcast Sports, beer drinking and big Sale, or a day to kill in Vegas. Nobody in America really cares about anything now. I watched the guy took notes from what those villagers said, shot pictures of those covered up bullets holes on the walls, the happy footage of laughing, dancing, clapping before the sudden invasion and the massacres carried out by the American Special Force...those burial sites of the victims killed by the Americans....So what's the purpose of all of these much ado about nothing efforts? With all of these atrocious killings, no matter how much the American government gave to these countries, their people would never forget or forgive what the Americans did to them. No money could buy loyalty or friendship from these poor people. I do believe the journalist in this film was a REAL journalist with conscience, but what he did was just meaningless since there only a few people in America would ever got the chance to watch it, and these people, people like me, would never have any resource or power to do anything. A reviewer said "It would be hard for anyone to watch this movie with dry eyes...." Yeah, right, that's maybe the only thing we could share with during watching, after that, you have to turn your attention to your monthly payments; insurance premium, utilities bills, credit card payments, weekly groceries list, gas price today, mails in the box, diapers for the baby, property tax, income tax.....Life goes on.....

The documentary Dirty Wars was an eye opener , and very shocking. Jeremy Scahill did a great job uncovering a kill list, that kept getting larger and larger as people were being murdered by a secretive special operations crew. Innocent people are being killed and American citizens didn't and still don't know about it. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys uncovering government secrets and learning about what goes on in other countries and see how other countries see us as Americans. I was surprised by what the American government wants to do an American citizen. I think this is something schools should be teaching because it will teach our fellow Americans how to be civil, and understand other people point of view.

I watched Dirty Wars (2013, directed by Richard Rowley and Jeremy Scahill) last night and thought, "We know its a dirty war, so what's the point of the film?" This might sound flippant in the context of errant killings carried out by our own government, but that's not the context that I'm referring to. I'm referring to the context of the film's narrative which looks at the gray lines of a global war on terror. Unfortunately these areas are no longer gray by the time the film is released. Thanks to brave journalists such as the film's director Jeremy Scahill, these issues have come to the attention of the public. The only gray area that remains is how an ambiguous global war on terror will evolve, or perhaps collapse. This is an interesting question, and perhaps one that deserves more attention in the film. Another question that deserves more attention is, "Who is Jeremy Scahill?" He traveled in the most dangerous red zones of Afghanistan to seek the truth on "dirty" night raids and drone strikes carried out by NATO and U.S. led forces. I wanted to delve deeper into Scahill's state of mind. This happens at times throughout the film, but not enough. In this one, I appreciate the work Scahill has done as an investigative journalist. The film read fine as a news story, but as a documentary film Dirty Wars lacks purpose and emotional connection.

I loved this documentary for the most part but felt the narrator was mellow-dramatic at times. i also found the approach of storytelling quite tedious and a little self-indulgent. I understand the narrator needed to tell the story in this way as he was the journalist who began the investigation over a decade ago, but I felt at times it lacked creativity. My biggest problem with this documentary was it's ending. The story just seemed to go nowhere; or 'fell off a cliff" as my documentary tutor would say. The journalist had copious amounts of video evidence to which he done nothing about other than put it in his film. Why did he not bring it to the Whitehouse and demand comment and put the Generals of JSOC under pressure?The line 'I realize now this story has no ending" for the fact the war on terror will always be in operation is a cop out on the producers part, it's a lazy way of saying I have worked so long on this film which has no ending but I want to get it out into the public domain. I feel in the end he was blinded by the excitement to release it rather than wait another 2 years to find a strong conclusion.Apart from the above it is still an excellent documentary which is thoroughly enjoyable and well deserves its nomination for the Oscars, however I do not think it will win for its storytelling element over its political message.
