Special Presentation

Focusing on the lives of three young Iraqis struggling to survive during wartime, Hometown Baghdad is a part of an Iraqi online web series about the lives of young people in Baghdad. Their lives are shown through videos, news, blogs, and various informational forums with the goal of promoting a global youth dialogue. A New York-based producer of Hometown Baghdad will introduce this media project and conduct a Q and A at the conclusion of the presentation.
