Dispatches

Dispatches revisits the Gaza Strip to focus on civilians caught in the crossfire of never-ending battles. We meet seriously injured children and their distraught families, and the International Solidarity Movement whose member Tom Hurndall is shot. Then it hits even closer to home, when previous Dispatches director and cameraman James Miller is shot dead while he and Saira Shah are making another of their films together.

Experience a day in the life of these young men as they play a vital role in the liberation of Iraq. With remarkable battle footage, Virgin Soldiers reveals the true story of men who fought their way into the heart of Baghdad.
