"The pictures are what will stop the war," De Palma told a news conference
"The pictures are what will stop the war," De Palma told a news conference after the showing of the movie.
"Redacted," which is based on the actual March 2006 rape and murder of a 14-year-old Iraqi schoolgirl by US soldiers who also slaughtered her family, is a reaction to what he sees as sanitised media accounts of the war seen in the United States.
"All the images we (currently) have of our war are completely constructed -- whitewashed, redacted," said De Palma.
"One only hopes that these images will get the public incensed enough to get their congressmen to vote against the war," he added.
