Alive In Baghdad: Help independent Iraq journalists

June 9th, 2009

Alive In Baghdad is a collaborative effort between journalists in Iraq and the U.S. For the past four years they’ve been producing video stories about what it’s like to live in Baghdad. They cover a lot of the war- and security-related issues you’d expect. But they also cover a side of Baghdad you’ve never seen: the lives of gays and Christians, the state of women’s rights, teenage soldiers, youth soccer, illegal pharmacies, what college students do to relax.

Right now Alive From Baghdad is hurting for money; they can’t afford to hire translators for their stories. This is a short video on just a few of the stories that Alive In Baghdad has done over the years. Even if you can’t support them financially, go to iTunes and subscribe to the podcast, or go aliveinbaghdad.org and watch some of the stories in the archives. It will change the way you think about the war, about independent journalism and about the Iraqi people.
