Video: An Iraq soldier's family in Iowa

Gary Younge and Dan Chung make their last stop in the midwest, visiting the parents of a US soldier from Clinton, Iowa, who are critical of the war he is serving in. From the film:

"It is easy to say some of these things in New York or LA, but it takes courage to be that outspoken in a small midwestern town. They were strident, not shrill; critical but not self-loathing. Their love for Zak gave focus to their concerns but it did not create them."
