ConceptionMedia - Caught in the Crossfire

The plight of the civilians is the unreported story of the Iraq War. The refugees of Falluja risked their lives to tell their story to the world.

In November 2004, the American military took siege of the ancient city of Falluja, Iraq – a city comparable to the size of Cincinnati, Ohio with a population of at least 250,000.

The American attack on Falluja, and the subsequent costs to the people there, has been a humanitarian, social, moral and ethical disaster; yet the American government and media have largely ignored the plight of the innocent victims. The refugees of Falluja risked their lives in order to tell their story to the world through the groundbreaking new documentary film, Caught in the Crossfire.

Shot from November 2004 to April 2005 inside the city of Falluja, Caught in the Crossfire details the conditions experienced by civilians as they endured the violent clashes and consequences of Operation Phantom Fury and became refugees outside the eyes and care of the international community.

A joint production between Iraqi and American filmmakers, Caught in the Crossfire was filmed entirely un-embedded, outside the protection or influence of the military or corporate media, in order to capture the unique and honest perspective of the civilians themselves.

Due to military operations in Iraq, civilians in combat areas continue to live in horrific conditions with little or no aid.

Your purchase of Caught in the Crossfire will go directly to aid the innocent civilians and refugees caught in the crossfire of conflict areas inside Iraq.
