“Follow a Marine Battalion’s odyssey during the 2003 Iraq invasion. This documentary film captures the fog of war, its chaos, confusion, and conflicted realities. First Lieutenant Mike Scotti provides us with a first hand, honest and transparent look at the raw emotions, dangers and tragedies faced by Marines on the battlefield. Severe Clear is a graphic, unvarnished account that pushes us to wrestle with the human cost and impact of war.”

SEVERE CLEAR, based on the memoir by First Lieutenant Mike Scotti as well as video footage shot by him and other members of 1st Battalion, 4th Marines on the outset of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, is being called “a vividly intimate portrait of soldiers (Austin Chronicle)” and “…as striking as any war narrative you can imagine (eFilmCritic.com)”. These soldiers capture the harrowing three hundred mile charge to Baghdad through hostile enemy territory, exhibiting raw footage that was never intended for a motion picture. SEVERE CLEAR strips the barriers between audience and soldier, personalizing the fear, moral conundrum and adrenaline of life on the battlefield and gives an unflinching look at the uncertainty, disorder and chaos of war.
