Alive in Baghdad banner

Here is an interesting video blog seen tonight on CNN: Alive in Bagdad

Each week they post a short video (3-7 mins) from Iraq made by an Iraqi civilian. From their mission statement:

Alive in Baghdad is empowering Iraqis to share their stories with the world, and provides a place of education and interaction for global citizens interested in the real life political, military, economic and social situation in Iraq. ... Above all, Alive in Baghdad is devoted to empowering Iraqi citizen journalists to share their stories with the world in a personal, candid and non-bureaucratic way. We endeavor to cut through the red tape and politics of corporate news and deliver the real stories, from real people, everyday.

The blog took home the Best Vlog, Best Group Vlog, Best Political Vlog and Favorite Interview Vlog at the Vloggies in San Francisco two weeks ago.
