HOME FRONTS (United States, 2002-2005)

Full-size mock-ups of Iraqi and Afghan villages lie hidden in the woods in the south of the United States. There American soldiers are trained before they are sent out to Iraq and Afghanistan. The ‘residents’ are often immigrants who, to make some money, have to reenact the life that they have recently left behind them. Between the exercises they have to stay in character in their roles as innkeepers or gardeners.
