Elderly man killed in crossfire, Najaf - photo by Kael Alford

For months on end, seven independent photographers and filmmakers have worked exclusively in Iraq documenting US troops and Iraqi civilians, resistance fighters and child laborers, imprisoned women and incarcerated youths. Using varied media and narrative styles ranging from photojournalism to first person narratives, cinema verite and found photography, Iraq Uncensored photographers present insights and subtleties beyond what daily news reporting can provide.

Together they will present rare windows on Iraq, the land that cradled what we now call civilization.

Please visit Iraq Uncensored to view the bios, the proposal for the exhibit, documentary film vignettes, and more.

The seven independent photographers and filmmakers are:

Kael Alford
Thorne Anderson
Andrew Berends
Rita Leistner
James Longley
Phillip Robertson
