Dahr Jamail – Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches From An Unembedded Journalist – Jan.9, 2008

Awareness Film Night January 9th – “Dahr Jamail – Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches From An Unembedded Journalist”. Film of a talk given by Dahr in Vancouver one month ago in which he discusses what’s happening on the ground in Iraq today and what it felt like to be in Iraq as an unembedded journalist.  

In early 2003 Dahr Jamail was in his mid-30’s, happily working as a mountain guide in Alaska when the drumbeat for war in Iraq destroyed his peace. He decided he could sit at home, depressed and angry, or he could take action. He bought a laptop, a digital camera and a plane ticket. Today he dispatches his unembedded reports to media around the world, including the BBC and Democracy Now!. His frank, easy going manner and wealth of first hand information on the current situation in Iraq make this an hour not to be missed. 7 p.m. Edward Milne Community School theatre 6218 Sooke Rd. By donation.
