Full Battle Rattle is a 2008 American war documentary film directed by Jesse Moss and Tony Gerber.
The film is about the war simulation in the fictional Iraqi town of Medina Wasl that the US Army built in the Mojave Desert, which is used to help train its army units before they deploy to Iraq.[1]
Production
The pair were granted permission to live inside the simulation for the duration of a three-week training rotation. Moss and Gerber filmed on both sides of the “war”: Gerber lived with the Army Brigade in training and Moss lived in Medina Wasl. The duo used war films such as Three Kings, Hearts and Minds, and Coming Home along with the works of Robert Altman as references when developing the film.[2]
Release
Full Battle Rattle made its world premiere at the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival.[3][4]
