When the Americans declared war on Iraq in 2003 Franco Pagetti was there with his camera poised, ready to document the war as he saw it. He was one of two photographers working for TIME magazine (2003-2008) in a war that lasted far longer then predicted with devastating global consequences. He understands very well the power of the image and the impact it can have. Pagetti refers to the Vietnam war and recalls, “how many good writers there were but what do you remember from that war? The picture of the girl burned by napalm.” Images from each major conflict have told stories that reveal a truth about war not printed in the headlines. What are the stories from the Iraq War? What truths will they reveal? The film is an exploration of the role of photography and the importance of the image that informs the public as a conflict unfolds.
