Synopsis
The material recorded by Marine Lieutenant Mike Scotti during the 2003 invasion of Iraq should never have become a documentary. His video camera captures the grimmest sounds and harshest images of the war. On his return he reconstructs his years in the desert, together with filmmaker Kristian Fraga, where cinema gives shape to the merciless reality on the battlefield, creating an explosive product. In the era of "war on television", which often conceals the truth and creates a distance between what we see and what actually happens, Severe Clear will project the spectator into a throbbing and threatening experience, reworked with a unique style.
