Baghdad Blogger Is Coming To Thailand, Ugh...In Movie Form Though
01.13.05 (1:09 am)   [edit]

As somewhat a lazy blogger here on tBlog site but I myself had managed myself to stumble cross the very interseting weblog called Where is Raed? a.k.a. Baghdad Blogger. Even  though the search for weapon from the US Government has been put off officially already. Anyway, at soome point after the blog itself has caught intention from people around the globe, then there is a generous people who make an interesting documentary on this. So to announce to the world from this blog community. Here to announce the 3rd Bangkok Film Festival 2005, I, myself proudly present to you the highlight movie of the event according to teh world of blogging:


Baghdad Blogger/ Salam Pax: Video Report from Iraq
Directed by: SALAM PAX
From ground zero in Iraq comes an entirely different perspective on the war. The pseudonymous Salam Pax came to worldwide attention as “the Baghdad Blogger,” an intelligent voice of reason and hope, reporting his feelings in a widely read “web log,” that was first written from the heart of Saddam’s dictatorship, and then in the aftermath of the U.S. invasion. Although an architect by training, his writing led to a columnist gig with Britain’s Guardian newspaper. Now working with Guardian Television and BBC “Newsnight”, he has filmed seven vibrant and fascinating video diaries that share the immediacy and honesty of his ‘blog. Taking to the streets with a small DV camera, he uncovers the everyday - and the extraordinary - in his traumatized country. This compilation program includes “Salam Pax Canvasses Opinion on the Capture of Saddam Hussein” (12/23/03); “Living in Baghdad One Year on from the Invasion” (3/16/04); “Salam Pax on Hopes For His Country s Future” (11/10/03); “Salam Pax Travels South to Najaf and the Marshes” (11/26/03); “Salam Pax Witnesses the Ashoura: the First Free Shia Festival Since the Fall of Saddam” (3/23/04); “Why is There a Lack of Enthusiasm for Allawi s Government?” (9/14/04), and “Arts and Leisure Activities in Post-War Iran” (9/21/04).
