Straight from the Battlefield by Film Annex & NATO
Posted on at
Witnessing history has never been easier thanks to the immediacy that social media brings to our lives. We are instantly aware of what's going on in the world by checking our iPhones, opening up our browsers, turning on our tablets, and using all the other tools today's technology offers us. But at most homes, television is still the primary news source. As revolutions take to the streets and wars intensify at different corners of the globe, we might wonder why TV is not doing that great of a job at informing us about the latest events. Most of us turn to websites like Facebook and Twitter; some of us watch live stream videos on websites. Film Annex founder and president, Francesco Rulli, has a lot to say about why traditional TV Networks are hesitant about broadcasting news from the war in Afghanistan. Do TV stations think that people are mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore? Is that why they hold back from publishing honest and objective footage in their newsrooms? If you're tired of listening to ambivalent half truths about the war in Afghanistan as it enters its 10th year, tune into Film Annex's new NATO Channel to watch raw, objective, and naked footage from the battlefield. Listen to interviews with soldiers and generals to find out what REALLY goes on in the warzone. Through its collaboration with Film Annex, NATO has been able to show a different, more human side of the war.
