Ansioitunut brittidokumentaristi Nick Broomfield on ohjannut draamaelokuvan yhdestä Irakin sodan järkyttävimmistä yksittäisistä verilöylyistä. - 19. marraskuuta 2005 tienvarsipommi surmaa partiotehtävissä olleen amerikkalaisen sotilaan. Hänen joukkueensa kostaa tapahtuman teurastamalla 24 irakilaista siviiliä: miehiä, naisia ja lapsia. Battle for Haditha rekonstruoi tapahtumat sotilaiden, pommin asettajien sekä yhden tavallisen irakilaisperheen näkökulmasta. Broomfield tuo taidokkaasti esille kaikkien osapuolien motivaatiot siten, että katsoja voi ne helposti ymmärtää. Läsnäolon tunne, pelottavat taistelukohtaukset ja raaka realismi tuovat sodan todelliset kasvot esiin ennennäkemättömällä tavalla. Tapahtumasta tuli tragedia, josta USA:n armeija mieluiten vaikenisi. Elokuvaa on myös verrattu Vietnamin sodan raakuuksia käsittelevään Ilmestyskirja. Nyt -elokuvaan.
