Told first-hand by American troops stationed in the middle of Baghdad, Gunner Palace presents a portrait of a dangerous and chaotic war.

The film documents the operations of 2nd Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, an element of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division beginning in the late summer of 2003 until the unit was relieved by 3rd Battalion, 153rd Infantry Regiment, of the 39th Brigade Combat Team, an Arkansas Army National Guard unit attached to the 1st Cavalry Division in April 2004.

The soldiers were stationed in the Adhamiyah neighborhood of Baghdad which lies between the Tigris river on the west and Sadr City on the east.

However, Tucker asked the MPAA to reconsider, saying as it goes: "The video shows real life in the army overseas and the importance of the younger audiences to connect and understand what soldiers have to go through."

Considering the combat conditions facing the human subjects of a war documentary, the language, while strong, did not constitute constant profanity.
