Blackwater's Youngest Victim



A film by Jeremy Scahill for the Nation and Democracy Now! and Rick Rowley for Big Noise Films.

Check out additional information at Rebel Reports, Democracy Now!, Big Noise Films, and The Nation Magazine.

We often get told how superficial and vapid our national media and discourse is. The people and organizations involved in this story are anything but that. Sometimes we need a reminder that real journalism still exists, real reporters still go after and report the real stories of real people living and sometimes dying in the real world, not a cocktail weenie in sight.

Jeremy Scahill, the Nation, and the Democracy Now! crew have risen to the top of the heap along with a few other intrepid, dauntless souls.

And we need to remind ourselves of that when we shake our heads or cluck our tongues over the latest piece of tabloid trash to infest the "News".
Don't let this story fade away.
