Alive in Baghdad Christmas Special
From Alive in Baghdad:
“Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Eid Sa’eed, and whatever else you may celebrate. This week we’re taking a look back at 2006, and a year of video about Iraq, by Iraqis.”
Recently I discovered Alive in Baghdad’s vlog. Their videos are sometimes hard to watch but as a peace activist I feel it is important to watch. I’ve been meaning to blog about them and thought their holiday special would be a good introduction to new viewers.
From their site:
“Alive in Baghdad is a weekly video blog. Our limited staff is able to post a video every Monday morning, so if you’re looking for more material please look through our archive.
Alive in Baghdad was formed to counter the sound-bite driven, “Live From” news model. Through the work of a team of Americans and Iraqi correspondents on the ground, Alive in Baghdad shows the occupation 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.”
