Inside Iraq, the untold story
synopsis
The war in Iraq has been showcased as both an example of American
decisiveness and the catastrophic result of failed leadership. But
beyond the debate, what is the reality of life on the ground? In
December of 2003 traveler Mike Shiley felt compelled to find out for
himself. Shiley, who is not a professionally trained journalist or
filmmaker, managed to strike a deal with a local ABC-TV station to
bring back stories about the troops in Iraq. Armed with a digital video
camera and a home-made press pass, Mike Shiley chronicled a two month
journey inside Iraq, interviewing American and Iraqi soldiers, talking
to local citizens, and putting himself in situations of great personal
risk. The footage from Shiley's excursions throughout the Sunni
Triangle, the city of Baghdad, the northern Kurdish region and the
Shiite-controlled south, put into deep personal context the stories we
hear about in the news. Rather than push a political point of view,
INSIDE IRAQ: THE UNTOLD STORIES lets Shiley's camera roll, catching a
multitude of real-life moments that tell it like it is.
Guided by his own narration and interspersed with cuts to the studio
interview, we are shown Iraq as we've never seen it before, getting a
raw look at what it's like to be a soldier and a civilian in Iraq
today. No matter how you feel about the war, INSIDE IRAQ: THE UNTOLD
STORIES is bound to leave you examining your own beliefs about the U.S.
military, the Iraqi people, and our future in the middle east.
