The executive producers of the video program “Hometown Baghdad” are on campus to talk about the genesis and production of this award-winning series. “On March 19th, 2007, the war in Iraq entered its fifth year. While images of destruction dominate our media, the life of the everyday Iraqi is the great untold story. In response, Chat the Planet produced Hometown Baghdad, an online documentary series about life during wartime. Watch as three young Iraqis struggle to maintain a semblance of life, sanity and safety as their country descends further into civil war.”
