BuzzFlash.com's Review (excerpt)
"Occupation Dreamland" is a documentary that will change the way you perceive the war in Iraq, but for reasons you might not expect.
The film follows Alpha Company, 2nd Platoon from the 82nd Airborne Division patrolling and securing Falluja, Iraq in 2003 and 2004 prior to the major insurrection that cost heavy American casualties to retake the city. "Dreamland" is documentary filmmaking at its finest.
...
Directors Garrett Scott and Ian Olds show true craftsmanship by letting the harrowing events, and the soldiers on the ground, speak for themselves. Unflinching, candid, and complex, "Occupation Dreamland" gives a firsthand account of the bravery of American soldiers doing their job and what was commanded of them. But as you watch the events unfold, you come away with one unmistakable conclusion: the presence of American soldiers is making the situation in Iraq worse. Scott and Olds don't have to tell you this war is unwinnable, you'll see it for yourself in this exemplary film.
