Ray Mendoza, who co-wrote and co-directed A24’s new movie ‘Warfare’ with Alex Garland, recreated a real-life 2006 Iraq War mission gone wrong for fellow soldier Elliott Miller, who suffered a lost leg and traumatic brain injury during the harrowing incident.

For Mendoza, who co-directed with “Civil War” director Alex Gibney, the movie gives his fellow SEAL and friend Elliott Miller, injured in an IED attack, some of the memories he lost.

Former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza has made his directorial debut with "Warfare," an honest and visceral new movie based on his memories of the Iraq War.
