Wisconsin Film Fest to show films on Iraq, Afghanistan

The Wisconsin Film Festival this year has programmed a series of documentaries about Iraq and Afghanistan.

In addition to the Oscar-winning “Taxi to the Dark Side,” there’s Civia Tamarkin’s “Jerabek,” which looks at a Green Bay couple who lose their son in Iraq, and Nina Davenport’s “Operation Filmmaker,” in which a well-intentioned program to fund an Iraqi film student backfires on his Hollywood backers.
