West Virginians Go To War


When a U.S. Army Reserve engineering company based in Harrison County got the call to go to Iraq, Public Broadcasting sought to chronicle the deployment from the perspective of the soldiers and their families.

The result, "Bridgeport to Baghdad," is a three-part documentary that debuted on Public Broadcasting's Outlook program last week.

Chapter One, "Citizen," has been posted on YouTube in three parts: here, here and here. Filmmaker Chris Hitchcock also talks about the project in this audio clip.

Note: Public Broadcasting now has its own corner on YouTube, which hosts an astounding 139 of its videos.
