Iraq Eyewitness is an on-going series of videos of people who have recently returned from Iraq — GIs, journalists, and relief workers — as well as CIA agents, scholars and others with an in-depth understanding of the situation in Iraq, Iran, and U.S. defense policy. These are views that rarely reach the mainstream media, yet are essential to an informed understanding of the current realities in Iraq and Iran. They're presented in an engaging and non-confrontational tone. Iraq Eyewitness is designed to reach those who still support the war. Since it is unlikely to be accepted for broadcast on mainstream television, we rely on volunteer distribution to community access stations across the country. These stations primarily air local programs, such as high school sports events, town meetings, and cooking shows, or government programming such as the NASA Channel. With a little help, we can bring the realities of the Iraq war to this broad audience.
WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP? Community access stations are required to broadcast any non-obscene material submitted to them by residents of their viewing area. Shorter pieces such as these will often be aired multiple times. To find out your station’s requirements, phone them and say you'd like to submit a program on DVD for broadcast. Also, ask if they will accept the entire Iraq Eyewitness series with one application. After fulfilling their requirements (generally, filling out a simple e-mailed application), contact us and we'll mail the DVD(s) directly to the station. Our e-mail address is mail@iraqeyewitness.org. Thanks for your interest and support,
