Incase anyone sees this post over the next few days and gets a chance, BBCFOUR (in the UK) has been running a series of documentaries marking the past 5 years of "foreign intervention" in Iraq. "A Doctor's Story" was shown last night, and is available to view through iPlayer for the next week. I guess I have posted it as it was made by an Iraqi doctor, who had no documentary making experience but was one of the only people able to record what was happening in and around the hospital - and it got me thinking about how stories get to be told and who are able to tell them.
