Inspiration for this project:

The story of the prisoner abuse in Abu Ghraib had broken a month or so before this project. For me that story started quietly, but each passing week got more and more media attention. When I finally got around to understanding the scope of what happened I was pissed. Because of the actions of a handful of people, the reputation of an entire country dropped even lower in the eyes of the world. I wanted to write something about it, but I couldn't find a good way to do it. I finally just started to write down things associated with the scandal. This is the list I came up with as written down in my notes.

Martin George / Cinematographer & Lighting
