Unembedded is a nationally touring exhibit of 60 powerful and visually stunning
images that tell the story of the war’s impact on the lives of the Iraqi
people “on the ground” where the war is being waged. It is a powerful
expression of the effects of war that go largely ignored by the mainstream
media. It aims to enhance public awareness of the effects of U.S. policy on the
Iraqis, their country and returning American veterans and their families. For

“Truth, it has been said, is the first casualty of war. In the U.S.-led
invasion of Iraq, official truth died months before the bombing of Baghdad
began. Unembedded bears witness to the enduring power of independent
journalism. In their unflinching look at war-ravaged Iraq, four freelance
photojournalists show that life there is brutal yet poignant; that compassion
co-exists with anger, hatred and fear.” -excerpt from the book, Unembedded
