Targets - Reporters In Iraq (2005)

Never before have journalists been the target of violence to the degree they are now in Iraq. This documentary looks at how kidnappings and decapitations have become a real threat to those practicing this profession.

The Iranian-Canadian documentary filmmaker and news correspondent Maziar Bahari discusses the effect violence has had on the lives of journalists, and how it influences their work. Correspondent Hannah Allam explains to what extent violence has penetrated her life. Her interpreter's family was murdered and a colleague was shot at an American checkpoint.

Nevertheless, Hannah continues with her work, albeit with very limited freedom of movement.Canadian journalist Scott Taylor was abducted and tortured in Iraq. Still, he travels back to Iraq, but this time embedded, to tell the soldiers about his experiences and to confront one of his kidnappers.

Also featured in Targets: Reporters In Iraq is Giuliana Sgrena, the Italian journalist whose rescuer died during her ride to freedom and the Frenchman Christian Chesnot who was also abducted.
