From the symbolic handover of power to the Iraqi people to the under publicized bloody election day to the tearful reunion with families and wounded colleagues, we follow a group of soldiers as they transform from eager young men into hardened, cynical war veterans who will never be the same again.

Film-makers, Yuri Maldavsky and Tim Grucza, spent several months over the course of the year in southern Baghdad with the White platoon of the 1/7 cavalry division.
