The Corporal's Diary

The Story

  

Jonathan Santos, 22, documented his 37 days in Iraq on video and in writing; never knowing that day 38 would be his last. 


From high explosives to clandestine home brew, his video footage and witty narrative combine personal musings on life, death, and the future he imagined but would never see. 


His charming buddy, Matthew, who barely survived, brings the war home. Through Jonathan’s handwritten words and videotape,
the film tells a personal and profound story.

Movie Critic

"The Corporal's Diary" is a heartfelt tribute to a human being by those who loved him. With neither political slant nor ulterior motive, the film communicates the personal cost of war in such intimate terms that the viewer becomes more an empathetic mourner than observer.
