Nick Broomfield On Iraq

"One of the problems with the coverage of the Iraq war is that it's been mainly done by journalists who have stayed in the Green Zone. There's been very little time spent with Iraqi people. So, although we've been in the war now for five years, we know very little about Iraqi culture. This is the place where the first letters were written. It's the cradle of civilisation, but we wouldn't know it ... Everything is told from the American point of view. I thought it essential to understand who the insurgency are. Iraqis regard themselves not as insurgents, but patriots and freedom fighters."
