In June 2007, as the American military surge reached its peak, a band of National Guard infantrymen who call themselves The Bad Voodoo Platoon was deployed to Iraq. To capture a first-person account of the new realities of war in Iraq director Deborah Scranton supplied cameras to the soldiers so they could tell the story of their war. The film intimately tracks the veteran soldiers of Bad Voodoo through the daily grind of their perilous mission.
