From Baghdad to Badlands

Prior to working in New Orleans, Chan gained notoriety for traveling with Voices in the Wilderness to Iraq prior to the American invasion and occupation, in defiance of U.S. law. Tonight's program includes the resulting video essay, the almost wordless Baghdad in No Particular Order, which depicts everyday life in that city before its devastation, as well as Now Let Us Praise American Leftists and early animation. Chan also presents his recent project, the experimental press Badlands Unlimited, which published the essays of Saddam Hussein.
