P.O.V. - My Country, My Country . Dr. Riyadh at Abu Ghraib

	Clip 1: At Abu Ghraib This scene at Abu Ghraib was filmed only three months after the torture photographs were made public worldwide. It is a major turning point in the film because it is the first time I met Dr. Riyadh. Dr. Riyadh was leading an inspection of the prison for the Baghdad city council. I introduced myself as an American and asked if I could film him. He said, "Yes, we want transparency." As I filmed Dr. Riyadh speaking with the detainees and then try to explain to the U.S. military that the detention of Iraqis without charge will only create more anti-American sentiment, I knew I'd found the film's protagonist. \| Watch Video

	Clip 2: Press Conference The press conference was recorded a couple weeks later. I wasn't able to work it into the film, but I like the scene very much. It shows Dr. Riyadh arguing that a man is innocent until proven guilty — a principle that Americans pride themselves in — and yet the context flips the idea on its head. Here was an Iraqi arguing against the United States' detention of Iraqis without due process and using our legal principles to do it. \| Watch Video
