Remember that exclusive three-year deal that James Gandolfini signed with HBO last year? Well, it's finally bearing fruit in the form of a documentary that focuses on the wounded soldiers of the Iraq War.
Alive Day Memories: Home From Iraq is Gandolfini's first post-Sopranos project for HBO as well as the first project from his new production company, Attaboy Films. The documentary, which will debut on Sunday, September 9, will focus on the new generation of wounded veterans who have returned from Iraq. Gandolfini, the documentary's executive producer, interviews ten of the wounded veterans who reveal their severe disabilities and their plans for the future.
HBO's Wide Awake documentary airs tonight

I've had true insomnia only a few times in my life. Not a "I'm not in the mood to sleep even though I'm tired so I'll watch Conan" situation, but a real, horrifying feeling that I want to get to sleep and just can't. It's not a great scenario.Tonight, HBO premieres the new documentary Wide Awake. It's one man's quest to find out what is causing his insomnia. He visits doctors, explains to viewers what it feels like to not be able to get to sleep, and works late at night in hopes of getting to sleep. It's part documentary, part performance art, and it sounds quite interesting.
It's on at 8pm, which sounds like an odd time for an insomnia movie to air, but it actually premiered early yesterday morning at 1:30am, for you insomniacs. It airs again later tonight at 11pm on HBOP and airs several more times the next few weeks.
