VOA News recently wrote an article highlighting one of our flagship news programs, Mosaic: World News from the Middle East.

"At Mosaic, really what we are doing is turning the mirror, reflecting it back here to the U.S. and saying, 'This is what people watch,'" Dajani explains.

It has been six years since the US-led invasion of Iraq began. Those years have brought both hope and joy as well as death, destruction, and despair for many Iraqis. Regardless of which angle you look at the country from, it is obvious that the people of Iraq have paid a heavy price for their so-called freedom during the last six years.

In a special series of films, Witness highlights some of the untold stories of the ordinary people trapped in the middle of the crisis.  Six Years In Iraq recounts stories of pain and horror but also stories of courage and hope.

The first installment, City of Widows, premieres Monday, May 18 at 8:00pm PT, and follows Zahra, day after day, as she visits police stations, hospitals and morgues in a desperate search for her husband, in disapproval from a society where widows are still expected to be invisible.

Witness airs Mondays at 8:00 pm Pacific and Wednesdays at 7:00 pm Eastern, on DIRECTV 375 and DISH 9410.
