Iraq, in Print and Film

July 2, 2005 Off By leigh

An acerbic, excellent critique of Iraq war coverage by Gary Kamiya is worth reading.

I’m in the middle of the Revelation 8: Perth international film festival, which includes a devastingly good movie about Iraq by an Aussie director made before, during and after the invasion: In The Shadow Of the Palms.

I was literally crying in the cinema.

Also, Gunner Palace (A U.S/German production) is very, very good, giving a human face to the soldiers stationed in Iraq without politicising them for left or right agendas.
