Iraq 10 years on: a photographer's story of war

Synopsis

A photographer captures the chaos in Iraq following the American invasion, highlighting a strong feeling of impending doom. The scene resembles dancing on the deck of the Titanic as American marines reach the center of a devastated society. Instead of cheering crowds, there is looting and a mortuary filled with disintegrating bodies. The Americans use bulldozers to bury the dead amidst the stench of blood and death. People flee their homes, facing brutal checks that separate men and women, while some attempt to escape disguised. The photographer documents the normalization of fear and brutality, as exceptional circumstances become the new reality. A Rapid Reaction team responds to explosions, anticipating sniper fire, and witnesses the destruction firsthand.
