Another Day in Paradise
Chris AlticeFive thousand people live onboard the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Nimitz; they all share the same mission: maintain, arm and fly jets to deliver bombs to the "big game" - the war in Iraq. Another Day in Paradise follows a fighter pilot described by his fellow Black Aces as "more of a lover than a warrior"; an ordnance seaman who discovered right before he departed that his new girlfriend was pregnant; and a tough-talking Marine who loves to salsa dance. The film offers a rare glimpse into the thoughts and lives of the people who are fighting America's wars.
