FILM SYNOPSIS

The Iraq War introduced the concept of the "embedded" reporter to the world. Their highly choreographed, round-the-clock reporting gave the Pentagon extraordinary control of war reports back home, and also allowed the military to quietly contain those journalists who wanted to report the war independently: the so-called "unilaterals."

"War Feels Like War" is the story of an international group of journalists who refused to be "embedded." Motivated by the desire to get the 'real' story, the unilaterals ventured onto the battlefield without military protection and frequently without guides. They often found themselves reporting the stories that went uncovered in the wake of the triumphal columns of soldiers and embeds: civilian deaths, injuries, chaos in the streets, and a more mixed reception for the invaders than appeared in first reports.

The U.S. invasion of Iraq was one of the largest media events in history. More than 3,000 journalists from around the world flocked to Kuwait City and Baghdad to cover the war (19 died, at least five from "friendly fire"). Many, including representatives from all the major Western news organizations that dominated coverage of the war, were prepared to follow the troops from Kuwait as embeds, or to file reports from the relative safety of hotel lobbies.

For all the media in place, Spanish filmmaker Uyarra felt there was yet a story waiting to be told: that of the journalists themselves confronting modern war in an age of live-action telecommunications. When he arrived in Kuwait City, Uyarra soon found a dramatic angle on covering the journalists. Among the reporters who were neither embeds nor hotel-lobby commentators, Uyarra discovered an intrepid and independent group of "unilaterals" determined to get into Iraq to report the war first-hand without the permission, guidance, or protection of the U.S. military.
