Brothers At War is an intimate portrait of an American family during a chaotic time. Jake Rademacher sets out to understand the experience, sacrifice, and motivation of his two brothers serving in Iraq. The film follows Jake’s exploits as he risks everything including his life to tell-his brother story. Frequently humorous but sometimes downright lethal, Brothers At War is a remarkable journey where Jake embeds with four combat units in Iraq. Unprecedented access to US and Iraqi troops on the Syrian border, into sniper hide sites in the Sunni Triangle, and through intense machine gun battles with the Iraqi Army. Ultimately, the film follows his brothers home where separations and life threatening work ripple through their parents, siblings, wives and children. Brothers At War is a rare look at the bonds and service of our soldiers on the frontlines and the profound effects their service has on the loved ones they leave behind.
