Scoop TV Doco: Iraq – In Search Of Hope

Scoop TV Doco: Iraq – In Search Of Hope

Produced by Selwyn Manning

Scoop TV Warning: Content Will Disturb Some Viewers.
Press play to view this Scoop video

The documentary Iraq – In Search of Hope features Harmeet Sooden who, in late November 2005, was captured along with three other colleagues and held hostage in Baghdad for four months. This documentary identifies with a loss of hope for Iraq's people and connects with the impact that the United States led invasion and subsequent war has caused. It examines the purpose of protest, and how actions outside of Iraq provide a glimmer of hope to those inside Iraq who realise there are people free in the outside world who care for their plight and are intent to bring about change.

Scoop TV broadcasts on Triangle TV (Wellington) at 9pm and on Stratos TV (SkyTV channel 89 and Freeview channel 21) at 9:30pm every Wednesday evening (NZ Time).
