Synopsis
Since 2004, the war in Iraq has become impossibly dangerous for journalists. Few remain there and fewer still venture outside the Green Zone or work unnumbered. We meet several of them and follow their incredible stories.
Among them are Canadian Scott Taylor and Turkish journalist Zeynep Tugrul, who were kidnapped and tortured by an AI-Queda-related group in Tal Afar, one of the most dangerous spots in Iraq. They managed to talk their way out. This is their heart-stopping story.
We also see the worsening war through the lenses of several award-winning photographers from The New York Times, The Guardian and Newsweek. We also meet local Iraqi journalists and see how the violence against reporters affects them and how the targeting of journalists in Iraq has changed war journalism itself.
