“A new era in war-reporting”

war feels like war

The theory behind this film was over two years in the planning, yet nothing could have prepared us for the reality of war. 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.
