105 heartfelt interviews with U.S. Soldiers traveling to and from war zones,
Military Families whose children were killed in Iraq, Veterans, and Youth.
Intimately documented on film by Artists Sally Marr and Peter Dudar.
ARLINGTON WEST is a 74-minute Art Film presenting "temporary cemeteries"
in the sand, erected every Sunday by the Veterans For Peace in Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Oceanside, and Huntington Beach. Flag draped coffins and over 4,000 wooden crosses, affectionately placed, invites the public to honor the unacknowledged fallen U.S. soldiers and lament the cost of the war.

Visitors write the name of the dead on slips of paper lining the ever-growing list
of casualties and place it on a cross with fresh flowers and an American flag.
This presentation, now national, is a respite to express sentiments, a remembrance in silence or painful grief; for all to take time to honor the Soldiers, Marines, and Military Families who are paying the highest price for war. Children offer their intuitive wisdom. Veterans, survivors of the horrors of war, share
their poignant experiences and the new recruits en route to combat speak of
their enthusiasm, dedication and faith in their upcoming missions.
Returning from the Middle East conflict, many of the military, distressed, disillusioned, damaged, and having lost friends "in country" share reflections, as well as their fellow soldiers who are eager to return to war zones.
The military families arrive with photos, dog-tags, and mementos to adorn the crosses as they honor, weep and pray…sharing their innermost feelings with
you, their fellow countrymen and women
