As I wind down my final few movies before I cancel Netflix (yes, I'll finish Firefly before I ditch them) I was seeing what else in my queue seemed to be something I might not get outside of Netflix, and found this.

quote:
Voices of Iraq (2004)

The producers of this groundbreaking documentary distributed 150 digital video cameras across Iraq to enable everyday people -- mothers, children, teachers, sheiks, even insurgents -- to voice their perspectives on issues such as war, terror and the democratic reform. The result is a unique tableau documenting Iraqis' lives and their hopes as they struggle with years of turmoil and strive to build a civil society.

Anybody seen this? Anybody know anything about it?

No, but I wish I could see it. It sounds wonderful.

I'd like to see it, too. I'll have to see if we can get a copy here. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. [Smile]
