Unai Aranzadi (independent documentary filmmaker) was the first journalist in the world with access to the Mackenzie FOB in Samarra.

For the very first time, a reporter with a videocamera filmed a combat unit in their 5 days walking patrols. Some of them died during the recording of this documentary, others got injured and most of them came back alive.

It was october 2005, when Iraq was almost empty of foreign journalists. In this extremelly hostile environment, Unai Aranzadi found a virgin territory to document the truth of the frontline, in which soldiers and snipers say that they will kill any one to survive and that they
don´t believe in their patriotism and mission any more.

Unai Aranzadi has been 6 times in Iraq. He was the first journalist in the world who got an embed position in the Irai Army (inside the wild Sunni Triangle)and the first spanish reporter who went embed with the US Army.

You should try to see the 60 minutes documentary: BLACKOUT IN THE SUNNI TRIANGLE. It has been broadcasted in more than 12 countries and shows like never before -in that time- the conflict from within.

  • What is wrong with these retards. Look right above the video, it says youtube worldwide english. Not spanish.

  • Esto tios son unos acojonados. SI eres soldado debes luchar con valor. Si no no te metas al ejercito porque no vales para ello.

    La muerte es algo con lo que se debe contar cuando uno es soldado en el frente y hay que mirarla a los ojos.
