YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDemocracyNow.org - The documentary "Dirty Wars: The World Is A Battlefield" follows investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill to Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen as he chases down the hidden truth behind America's expanding covert wars, focusing on the Obama administration's increasing use of armed drones and secretive units including the Joint Special Operations Command. On Saturday, the film's director Richard Rowley was awarded the Sundance Film Festival prize for best cinematography in a U.S. Documentary, honored for "elevating the art of observational cinema through sophisticated lensing and an electric-color palette." Accepting the award, Rowley said: "Almost three years ago when Jeremy and I knocked on a door in Gardez in rural Afghanistan, we were the first Americans the family had seen since the Americans kicked their door in and killed half their family. They invited us in and they shared the most difficult story of their lifetime with us because we promised them we would do everything we could to make their story heard in America."
