> they’ve seen in Iraq
> 
> Iraq Eyewitness is a series of half-hour videos of
> presentations by or 
> interviews with people who have recently returned
> from Iraq ­ GIs, 
> independent journalists, and relief workers.
> 
> These are views that rarely reach the mainstream
> media, yet are essential 
> to an informed understanding of the current
> realities in Iraq. They're 
> presented in an engaging and non-confrontational
> tone.
> 
> Iraq Eyewitness is designed to reach those who still
> support the war. Since 
> it is unlikely to be accepted for broadcast on
> mainstream television, we 
> rely on volunteer distribution to community access
> stations across the 
> country. These stations primarily air local
> programs, such as high school 
> sports events, town meetings, and cooking shows, or
> government programming 
> such as the NASA channel. With a little help, we can
> bring the realities of
> the Iraq war to this broad audience.

> Community access TV stations are required to
> broadcast any non-obscene 
> material submitted to them by residents of their
> viewing area. Shorter 
> pieces such as these will often be aired multiple
> times. To find out your 
> station’s requirements, phone them and say you'd
> like to submit a half-hour 
> program on DVD for broadcast. Also, ask if they will
> accept the entire Iraq 
> Eyewitness series with one application.
