Courtesy of Uyarra Films
This is the story of journalists caught up in a new era in war-reporting. In the second Gulf War the coalition forces divided the world's media into two camps - 'embeds' and 'unilaterals'.
In the making of
War Feels Like War, Esteban Uyarra lived and worked among the unilaterals. Beginning in Kuwait City, then crossing the border into southern Iraq, we follow some of these independent reporters up to Baghdad and beyond, sharing the experiences and problems faced by those reporting on modern-day war.
