THE GROUND TRUTH is one of only 15 films on the Oscar "short list" for the 2007 Academy Awards nominations. "The best film I've seen to emerge out of the 9/11 attacks." - Richard Corliss, TIME MAGAZINE "'The Ground Truth'...is a powerful, polemical, probing examination of the devastation the war has taken on returning soldiers." - David Ansen, NEWSWEEK "An upsetting but mesmerizing series of interviews with veterans of the Iraq war." "'The Ground Truth' is an emotionally potent work." - David Denby, THE NEW YORKER "This is undeniably one of the year's most compelling films." "Unflinching, disturbing, and fascinating." - Claudia Puig, USA TODAY "'The Ground Truth' stands out as an especially pointed indictment of the American military's treatment of its own people on and off the battlefield." - Stephen Holden, THE NEW YORK TIMES "This thoughtful, sensitive film, perhaps the most emotionally wrenching of all the Iraq documentaries." "...The resulting candor leads to stories and situations that will surely cause tears." - Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES "Compelling and intensely provocative." - Jessica Reaves, CHICAGO TRIBUNE "Director Patricia Foulkrod has assembled a powerful, impossible-to-ignore chorus of veterans and their loved ones." "...unflinching...powerful..." - James Verniere, BOSTON HERALD "Four stars." "The Ground Truth is an enlightening documentary." - Mick LaSalle, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE "...none quite measures up to 'The Ground Truth', a powerful picture which takes an intimate look at the mental and physical challenges faced by about a dozen veterans upon their return to the States." "An Oscar-quality documentary." - Kam Williams, BLACK STAR NEWS "Patricia Foulkrod's film is a must-see for every American, regardless of political opinion." - Sara Brady, PREMIERE MAGAZINE "Every single American.should see this film and ask whether any ideal or any goal is worth what's happening to this mangled generation." - Sara Brady, PREMIERE.COM "Among the many virtues of Patricia Foulkrod's immensely moving documentary about veterans of the Iraq war is the measure it takes of how far we have come since Vietnam in sympathy for American soldiers who serve abroad." - Ella Taylor, LA WEEKLY "A new-millennium 'Full Metal Jacket', analyzing the conscientious strategy of recruiters, trainers, and upper brass to transform naive and/or jobless American kids into raghead-hating, gun-totting murderers." - Michael Atkinson, VILLAGE VOICE "...'The Ground Truth' features wrenching interviews with vets who are physically and emotionally damaged by the war..." - Kyle Smith, NEW YORK POST "The Ground Truth, a 78-minute cri de couer with more rage and righteous indignation than it knows what to do with." - Jan Stuart, NEWSDAY "Patricia Foulkrod's Iraq documentary has a worthy subject-the travails of American soldiers who are trained to kill, and then, upon their return, are given no support by the military." - David Edelstein, NEW YORK VIEW "Patricia Foulkrod's powerful documentary is not the first Iraq war film to deal with the experience of soldiers on the ground; its distinction is the focus on staunchly anti-war veterans." - Andy Klein, LA CITY BEAT "...There's no denying the emotional power of these vets' words or the uncensored combat war footage culled from Iraq." "Is 'The Ground Truth' the full story? No. But it's an essential piece of the narrative, and there's little doubt that the voices of these objectors will only grow louder over the coming months and years." - Glenn Whipp, LA DAILY NEWS "Recommended for anyone considering a stint in any military branch." "It would be a good idea to show Foulkrod's movie nationwide on high school career days." - Marjorie Baumgarten, AUSTIN CHRONICLE "4 stars." "'The Ground Truth' is the documentary any American with an opinion on our involvement in Iraq owes it to his or her conscience to see." "Grips you from the start." - Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE "Films like Top Gun and newscasts of 9/11 motivated some Americans to enlist. Thoughtful documentaries like 'The Ground Truth' urge the rest of us to shoulder the consequences." - Bill Stamets, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES "...the substance of the movie is potent, and so powerfully presented by those who have fought and are still fighting a controversial war, that the message of 'Ground Truth' cannot be dismissed." - John Anderson, VARIETY "...it's a haunting and welcome addition to the growing library of war documentaries; one that wisely lets its subjects speak for themselves." - Moira McDonald, THE SEATTLE TIMES "Anyone who claims to support the troops owes it to them to see the film and hear their stories." - Sean Axmaker, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
