Hit piece against Marines and the US military.
US Marines get high and play with sex dolls in Afghanistan in controversial documentary filmed by combat cameraman who says the country 'needs to stop looking at these boys as heroes.
Combat Obscura was released in movie theaters across America on March 15
It follows a group of Marines in Helmand Province between 2011 and 2012
Combat cameraman Mike Lagoze's job was to film combat that could be used in publicity footage for the military
He decided to film in other scenarios and in their downtime too
The military made efforts to find out what equipment he had used to film it but it has vowed not to fight the film's release
It condemned the men's actions as 'selfish' and said they put their comrades in danger
All of the servicemen shown are no longer part of the armed forces and the military's ability to take disciplinary action against them has expired
Lagoze says he wants the country to 'stop looking at these boys as heroes'
A new documentary film shows US Marines getting high, playing with sex dolls and defecating outside the homes of locals during a tour of Afghanistan.
Combat Obscura was filmed in Helmand Province between 2011 and 2012 by former lance corporal Mike Lagoze.
He used government cameras to film the men as they behaved questionably after capturing shots that the government wanted to use as publicity.
Now, the unflattering footage, which critics are calling the documentary 'the Corps does not want you to see,' has been released as part of an effort by Lagoze to demystify what really happens in war zones.
The Marine Corps has hit out at the film and the filmmaker but says it is powerless to stop its release or take action against any of the people involved because so much time has passed.
It says it was never made aware of the criminal behavior shown in the film when it was happening and that the Marines involved put themselves as well as their comrades in danger with their 'selfish' behavior.
Some of the men's faces are obscured in some scenes whereas others are easily identifiable.
