It's foolish on all practical levels for me to make this ambitious trip to Iraq. Not only am I returning to a place I have not seen for 24 years...I'm also attempting to make a movie about the experience and about Iraq today. But that in itself is complex. My personal encounters and perspective will set some of the tone, but I do hope to get as many people as I can to talk about their lives, hopes and dreams in Iraq today.
I will listen and I will try to keep my camera at a respectful distance.
