Three-Part HDNet World Report Series, the First High-Definition Coverage from Iraq, Premieres Tuesday May 6
DALLAS - May 6, 2003 - HDNet announces the premiere of a three-part special presentation of the HDNet World Report. "Baghdad: A City in Turmoil" provides an in-depth look at today's Baghdad. The first half-hour segment, "War-Torn Baghdad," premieres Tuesday, May 6 at 9:30 p.m. ET / 6:30 PT, with the following segments airing Wednesday and Friday in the same time slot.
Although the bombing has stopped, uncertainty remains in Baghdad. HDNet talks to U.S. troops, Iraqi police, shopkeepers, merchants, and the citizens of Baghdad, each providing a unique perspective on the amazing changes taking place in post-Hussein Iraq.
"'Baghdad: A City in Turmoil' will provide viewers with a unique experience," said Mark Cuban, co-founder and president of HDNet. "This is nothing like you have seen from traditional news sources. This is not a stand-up reporter telling you what is happening. Leveraging the unique opportunities that only high-definition reporting can provide, we let the people and the pictures tell the entire story."
Cuban added: "HDNet puts viewers right in the middle of the action, letting them experience gunfights, mass rallies and marches, the chaos and agony, the sights and sounds of Baghdad today, presented as only HDNet can. We will continue to set new standards for international news coverage by providing this kind of in-depth reporting."
"War-Torn Baghdad" Premieres Tuesday, May 6, 9:30pm ET HDNet correspondent Michael Greenspan reports from the streets and outskirts of Baghdad, ravaged by war. Most public works are either shut down or destroyed. Now Iraqis and American forces face the burden of establishing systems and bringing order back to this city.
"Soldiers & Civilians-Baghdad in Crisis" Premieres Wednesday, May 7, 9:30pm ET The fall of the Hussein Regime created unexpected violence and looting in Baghdad. HDNet shows American military in action amidst a sprawling and unruly civilian population.
"The Fabric of Iraq" Premieres Friday, May 9, 9:30pm ET As Iraq struggles toward a new governing body, various interests, most notably Sunni and Shia Muslims are vying for public support as simmering tensions threaten to erupt into civil war.
