Was that the one where the guy who was running it was killed?

It does look interesting and I will probably check it out.....

I don't think so. Check the link. This is where they gave a thousand digital video cameras away in Iraq and asked the people to video whatever they wanted then return the footage for the documentary. It looks like a chance to hear first hand from the Iraqis what life there is like.

Wow, it sounds awesome. It's something I'd like to see for sure. Though it does really make you wonder what the biases of the editors were, what they would have taken out versus what they left in...

Now that I remember it; I think it was a Palistinean guy.....

Just think the editing may cut out all clips of anything that shows what the "producers" dont want to show, I hope this doco will show what it is ment to be, not more political propaganda. Unfortunatly it is not shown in Australia

I don't think Moore is producing this one.
