Chat The Planet Launches Hometown Baghdad

Chat the Planet, a global dialogue company that connects young people  
from around the world via the Internet, along with local filmmakers  
in Baghdad, Iraq have come together to create a fascinating,  
insightful documentary web series entitled Hometown Baghdad. The  
short installments follow the lives of young Iraqi men and women who  
are trying to survive in Baghdad during the invasion and occupation  
by U.S. forces.

New York based producer Laurie Meadoff writes, "...After four years  
of war, we still know next to nothing about normal Iraqis. The life  
of the everyday Iraqi is the great-untold story of this war. And  
[Hometown Baghdad] will hopefully change that. If enough people in  
America see this, it could potentially affect in its own small way  
the way Americans see the Middle East."

In order for this series to reach as broad an audience as possible,  
Chat the Planet and the filmmakers are distributing it for free via  
the Internet. V-Day encourages you all to not only watch these short  
episodes, but to forward them on to friends and family.
