I have loaded a section of my new documentary and it's available for you all to check out. This segment is of 22 MEU in Oruzgan.

Glad to see all that work has prompted such an interest.

Ok... the site is finally complete. First showing of the complete film will be at the Buchanan Theater in Buchanan, Virginia on 9/10/2006 to coincide with the 5th anniversary of 9-11.

Its an amazing amount of work that must have gone into it. I also am impressed that you narrated the entire work yourself. This also must have taken a considerable amount of time and work.

I however, find the documentary very bland, at least from the video you've linked, providing little background information on the election period, and the heavy use of jargon when talking about the marines would likely be somewhat inaccessible to large portions of your audience. There is no time spent explaining what a Marine Expeditionary Force is (it is simply mentioned in the linked video as a force that primarily relies on the sea to move) nor a generalized overview of its capabilities, like "It has the ability to move its troops via helicopters into remote sections of the country." Instead we have the BCL (an acronym not defined, but I'm guessing is for Brigade Combat Leader) talk about the improvement in mobility and equipment capabilities largely in the military jargon he is familiar with.
