Hometown Baghdad

March 19th, 2007Josef (Lebanon & Jordan)

Ok, so this is copied from my blog, and it’s not much, it’s all about the videos!!

Today, I received a newsletter from Taking IT Global, about a new project called “Hometown Baghdad“. Hometown Baghdad is a documentary series, consisting of short videos about 3 Iraqi guys – Adel, Ausama and Saif- The series talks about how they live, and some of the trouble they encounter while living in Iraq. Also, the site contains a short profile of those guys. You should watch the videos they’re really nice, and give you an inside prespetive of how things are going in Iraq.

The videos:

“Forbidden Salad; Ausama”

You can, also, watch the videos on Salon.com

Thanks Mike!
