Seattle, WA (PRWEB) July 8, 2007 -- "Iraq In Fragments" Special Edition DVD available July 10th, 2007 presented by Typecast Films.

"One of the strongest documentaries this year," says Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times. "Stunningly beautiful," says Academy Award winner Michael Moore and David Ansen of Newsweek calls it "…a quiet revelation." Director James Longley's critically acclaimed 2006 Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary, "Iraq In Fragments" is now available as a two-disc special edition DVD.

"Iraq In Fragments" presents post-war Iraq in three unique acts, providing audiences with images and people rarely seen in the American media. Director/Cinematographer James Longley spent over two years living in Iraq, filming the day-to-day life of average Iraqis struggling with both the international problems facing their country along with the personal day-to-day issues that face us all. Beautifully shot and poetic in style, "Iraq In Fragments" is a gorgeous reflection on those living in and deeply affected by this international crisis.

"Iraq In Fragments" premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival where it was met with much acclaim, winning the Best Documentary Director, Best Documentary Cinematography, and Best Documentary Editing (shared with co-editors Billy McMillan and Fiona Otway) awards. Since then "Iraq In Fragments" has played nationally in festivals and theatres, earning many more awards including the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival's Grand Jury Prize, the Nestor Almendros Prize at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, and the Distinguished Feature Documentary Award from the International Documentary Association.

After its highly successful nationwide theatrical run, "Iraq In Fragments" is now available as a two-disc special edition DVD through Typecast Films. With feature-length director commentary with James Longley, a director interview by movie critic Robert Horton, theatrical trailers, two short films by James Longley ("Sari's Mother" and "Iraq Before The War"), and four short films by students from Baghdad's Independent Film and Television College, the special edition DVD of "Iraq In Fragments" further illuminates just how extraordinary this feature is.
