The film won Best Short Documentary at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival.
Narrator Ethan McCord, as the ground soldier who aided a child victim immediately after, speaks of the Apache Helicopter attack that killed the two Reuters journalists as collateral deaths; the epilogue to the film says that "no one has been investigated or held responsible for the deaths". This was true at that time, however, it would be widely reported and publicly condemned after the video became part of a WikiLeaks release, having been submitted within 750,000 documents by Bradley Manning (later known as Chelsea Manning). The disclosures became part of the collective "Iraqi War Logs" and the "Afghan War Diary" on WikiLeaks, which labeled the Apache attack with the name "Collateral Murder". Officially, the U.S. military concluded that the actions of the soldiers were in accordance with the law of armed conflict and its own "Rules of Engagement". Manning would be court-martialed for the disclosure of classified, and sometimes unclassified-but-sensitive, military documents, was dishonorably discharged, was sentenced to 35 years at Fort Leavenworth, and was imprisoned from 2010 until 2017, when the sentence was commuted by out-going President Barack Obama on January 17, 2017, prior to the inauguration of Donald Trump. During imprisonment in 2013, Bradley declared a desire to be known and treated as a woman, Chelsea Manning. Numerous times during the subsequent presidency of Donald Trump, Chelsea Manning was jailed for contempt and fined for refusing to testify during the investigation of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange who was also a target of the Department of Justice.
