I went on three trips to Southern Iraq earlier this year to shoot a film about the restoration of the Marshes, which were comprehensively destroyed by Saddam. This is the American version of that film. Shot using a Panasonic P2 varicam in HD, and using some extremely long lenses (notably the Canon HJ28 – what a piece of glass!). The British version of the film will be appearing, probably in early 2011, on the Natural World, BBC1, under the title “Miracle in the Marshes of Iraq”. I will write more about this after the British TX. see the trailer here http://www.cpbn.org/program/nature-braving-iraq
