This short 2006 documentary captures the essence of the Eyes Wide Open exhibit, a stark reminder of the human cost of the Iraq War. Eyes Wide Open, the American Friends Service Committee's widely-acclaimed exhibition featured a pair of boots commemorating each U.S. military death, a field of shoes to memorialize the Iraqis killed in the conflict. From January 2005 until the end of the war, this simple exhibit of empty boots and shoes opened eyes and stirred emotions across the country.
