Section 60

It's green and white, green and white, green and white, and then there's this multicolored wound where Section 60 is, popping out of the landscape, where there are bright flowers, and mementos. It's colorful in a way that, "We're just trying to will everybody back to life."


Filmmaker Matthew O'Neill in this morning's New York Times talking about Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery which he and his colleague Jon Alpert document in their new HBO film Section 60, premiering on Monday.

The documentary contains no interviews; it only observes family and friends visiting the graves of their loved ones who were killed in America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
