Typecast Releasing is excited to announce the upcoming release of the 2008 documentary, The Corporal’s Diary. This eye-opening documentary is centered on the video and written diary of a young US soldier’s 38 days spent in Iraq before his unfortunate death.

Jonathan Santos, 22, documented his 37 days in Iraq on video and in writing; never knowing that day 38 would be his last. From high explosives to clandestine home brew, his video footage and witty narrative combine personal musings on life, death, and the future he imagined but would never see. His charming buddy, Matthew, who barely survived, brings the war home. Through Jonathan’s handwritten words and videotape, the film tells a personal and profound story. [thecorporalsdiary.com]

The film will be premiering at the Seattle Truly Independent Film Festival on June 10th, and then have a limited theatrical run before a widespread home video release. More details on the theatrical and home video specifics soon to follow.
