TO GO WITH AFP STORY ENTERTAINMENT-US-FILM-IRAQ-PIERCE(FILES)Director Kimberly Pierce arrives on the red carpet for the premiere of "Juno" at the Village Theatre in Westwood, California, in this December 3, 2007 file photo. As a director who likes to be emotionally connected to the movies she makes, Kimberly Peirce had no difficulty immersing herself in her latest film. For Peirce, who shot to fame with the acclaimed Oscar-winning transgender "Boys Don't Cry" in 1999, the subject matter of her acclaimed Iraq war drama "Stop-Loss" struck a very raw nerve.
