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.

Larry Holdaway, an artist and photographer, created this chilling composite by combining the portraits of every American soldier killed in Iraq from March 2003 to September 2004.

Larry writes: “This is the face of America’s sacrifice, the face of more than a thousand families’ pain. Do you recognize it?
