The Triangle of Death (documentary)
Encyclopedia
The Triangle of Death, directed by Folleh Shar Francis Tamba, is one of the very first cinema virtue documentary
of the war in Iraq. The film documented the first Iraqi election in 2005 after the fall of Saddam Hussein by an infantry rifleman on his first tour of duty as a combat troop. The Triangle of Death is a fast paced picture that documents the day to day combat experiences of the riflemen of Echo 3rd Platoon from 2nd battalion 24th Marines of the United States Marine Corps while deployed in the Iraq Sunni Triangle of Death, in 2004-2005 which was the most dangerous place on earth at the time. The Triangle of Death is a name given during the 2003–2010 occupation of Iraq by U.S. and allied forces to a region south of Baghdad which saw major combat activity and sectarian violence from late 2004 into the fall of 2007. For 94 pounding minutes the film puts the viewer right at the tip of the spear on the ground, in the middle of combat action. You are there; traveling in the convoys through several large towns in the Mahmudiya District including Yusufiyah, Mahmoudiyah, Iskandariyah and Latifiyah. The major terrain feature of the Triangle of Death is the Euphrates River, which borders the Triangle to the southwest, going house to house, battling from the rooftops, getting hit by indirect fire. The bullets whizzing by are as thick as deerflies at a Wisconsin fish fry in July, and they are real bullets. Same for the mortar rounds, the IEDs, and the blood…they’re all real, too. The Triangle of Death tells the story of the infantry riflemen of 3rd platoon Echo Company of 2nd battalion 24th Marines who where deployed in the most dangerous time to be in Iraq and made the first historical election happen through blood, tears and sweat. The Triangle of Death aired on national television on A&E Military channel 2010 and It has received numerous awards including the Founder's Choice Award at the GI Film Festival
in 2009, Macon Georgia Film Festival 3rd place winner 2009, Best Documentary at 2011 Naperville Independent Film Festival, Special Jury award at the 2011 Alaska International Film Award, Great lakes Film Festival best documentary winner 2011, 2011 Love unlimited Film Festival and art exhibition award, 2011 Raven award for feature length picture at DOCUTAH. . .
