Recently nominated for four Webby Awards, Hometown Baghdad is an online web series about life in Baghdad. It tells the stories of three young Iraqis struggling to survive during the war. The series premiered on March 19th 2007 and the final episode went live on June 17. The people profiled in 'Hometown Baghdad' are not the usual figures that dominate the media's coverage of the Iraq war: the politicians, the troops, the insurgents or the religious fanatics. They are young, smart ambitious Iraqis struggling with everyday concerns in the middle of a deadly war. Hometown Baghdad was produced by global youth dialogue company, Chat the Planet.
