Brian Conley, the man behind Alive in Baghdad will be in Amsterdam to give a presentation, and tell about the ins and outs of the project. In the summer of 2006, Alive in Baghdad provided video cameras, microphones, tapestock, and training to Iraqis living in Baghdad. Since then, they are producing a weekly news program from Baghdad on topics ranging from protecting their families from death squads, to what it is like to be an Iraqi Police officer.
Alive in Baghdad employs Iraqi journalists to produce video packages each week about a variety of topics on daily life in Iraq. Through the work of a team of Americans and Iraqi correspondents on the ground, Alive in Baghdad shows the conflict through the voices of Iraqis. Alive in Baghdad brings testimonies from individual Iraqis, footage of daily life in Iraq, and short news segments from Iraq to you. Alive in Baghdad’s limited staff is able to post a video every week. Alive in Baghdad is a project of Small World News Ltd. Co. with three production teams, in Iraq, Syria, and Mexico, for the two news programs,
Alive in Baghdad and Alive in Mexico.
