'''''Redacted''''' is a 2007 Iraq War film written and directed by [[Brian De Palma]]. The film is fictional, although it is loosely based on the 2006 Mahmudiyah killings, in which a group of US Army soldiers raped a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and killed her and her family. The film, which received mixed reactions from critics and was a box office disappointment in its limited release, stirred up controversy, as many felt the depiction of US soldiers in the film was too harsh and did not paint a fair representation of US involvement in the Iraq War.
