By Karina Longworth on September 11, 2007 at 6:54 am

Iraq documentaries take center stage. Stu talks to Phil Donahue about his filmmaking debut, BODY OF WAR, and Karina offers impressions of Nina Davenport's OPERATION FILMMAKER.

In this second-to-last installment of ReelerTV from Toronto, Stu sits down with the legendary Phil Donahue, who is in town promoting his first documentary effort, Body of War. The film tracks the recovery of Tomas Young, a young American soldier paralyzed from the waist down after serving just days in Iraq. And Karina takes a look at Operation Filmmaker, Nina Davenport’s portrait of a young Iraqi wannabe-filmmaker who takes advantage of liberal Hollywood guilt to get his foot in the proverbial door.
