Soundtrack to War is a 90 minute documentary by Australian war artist George Gittoes. Filmed throughout 2003 - 2004, Gittoes bypassed the U.S. military's media lockdown on the war in Iraq to capture what might comprise the single most authentic account of the human experience of the war. Gittoes interviewed American soldiers deployed in Iraq to create a relatively unbiased account of the role of music in the contemporary battlefield. The film is the first in a trilogy.
Songs featured in the movie include Slayer's Angel of Death, Drowning Pool's Bodies as well as freestyle rap and gospel choirs. Some musicians featured in the film are now being produced by successful American musical producers, e.g. Eminem. Seventeen of the early-filmed scenes from the documentary were used in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.
