The documentary "Soundtrack to War" features impromptu music performances by a cast of war-weary individuals, capturing the raw emotions of the Iraq War. Without rehearsal, the musicians performed amidst the harsh Iraqi sun, amidst a destroyed cityscape, and amidst the chaos of gunfire and mortar shells. The American military's influence on Iraqi culture is also explored, as soldiers memorized songs like "Let The Bodies Hit The Floor" and "Bombs over Baghdad", forever linking them to the violent events they accompanied. As the war dragged on, many soldiers began writing and performing their own music, creating a unique blend of rock, rap, and roll.
