War Feels Like War on DVD

To coincide with the 4th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, In Focus Productions is releasing Esteban Uyarra's award-winning feature on DVD.

War Feels like War is a compelling account of the brutalities of 21st Century war, told through the eyes of independent journalists. The film documents the lives of reporters and photographers who subverted military media controls to get access to the real Iraq War.

As the invading armies sweep into the south of the country, some of the journalists in Kuwait decide to risk their lives to travel in their wake, hungry to see the true impact of war on civilians. The film records their frustration, fear, shock and horror as they fight their way to Bagdad. They are the lucky ones. Behind them others become part of a media circus trapped in Kuwait. Ahead of them some journalists are killed in the conflict.

Director Esteban Uyarra picked up his camera and his credit card and headed out to Iraq at the start of the war. His finished film was bought by Storyville and shown to great acclaim, and is now available to buy. DFG members can get it at the reduced price of £9.99 + £1.50 P&P (normal price for the DVD is GBP14.99 + P&P)!

‘‘War Feels Like War doesn’t present easy or polemical answers... and it takes nothing away from embedded reporters to appreciate the lack of constraint in these unattached journalists’ stories.”
- Caryn James, The New York Times

“This might be the first documentary to show the reality of modern war without bias.” - The Guardian
