Democracy Now! | Embedded Filmmaker Who Shot "Fahrenheit 9/11" Iraq Footage (Video, Transcript)

Democracy Now! | Embedded Filmmaker Who Shot "Fahrenheit 9/11" : "Michael Moore's new film Fahrenheit 9-11 has been shattering box office record for a documentary and is being credited by some with boosting public interest in current events in Iraq. The film deals extensively with the build-up to the war, as well as the occupation as well.
In producing the film, Moore relied on a number of independent filmmakers on the ground in Iraq to get much of the footage he uses to paint a picture of the occupation. One of the filmmakers who provided Moore with some disturbing footage is in our studio today.
Urban Hamid, independent filmmaker who recently returned from Iraq. His footage of U.S. troops taunting and humiliating Iraqi prisoners appears in Michael Moore's latest film, Fahrenheit 9/11."
