520 |a This is a compelling account of the brutalities of 21st century war, told through the eyes of independent journalists. The film documents the lives of reporters and photographers who subverted military media control to get access to the real Iraq War. As the invading armies sweep into the south of the country, some of the journalists in Kuwait decide to risk their lives to travel in their wake, hungry to see the true impact of war on civilians. The film records their frustration, fear, shock and horror as they fight their way to Baghdad. They are the lucky ones. Ahead of them some journalists are killed in the conflict. Behind them others become part of a media circus trapped in Kuwait. The authorities try to placate them with organized day trips which end in farce, frustration, and cynicism. Through its main and its subsidiary characters, the film reveals the addictive nature of modern war reporting - how it affects journalists personally and how hard it then is to return to a normal life back home. It also paints a unique picture of the paradoxes of modern war reporting: the organized media circus may offer a continuous stream of action pictures for 24 hour satellite tv, but these tell us little about the chaos and the pain of war. War Feels Like War is a unique tribute to those courageous men and women who wanted to know the truth.
