Dal and Iraq
For the past several years, Dal has been a progressive activist concentrating on stopping the violence against U.S. troops and Iraqis in Iraq. He is an executive producer of three feature length Iraq War movies: The Ground Truth, The War Tapes, and Iraq For Sale.
Dal has participated in two meetings with members of the Iraq Parliament and others in Amman, Jordan. The first meeting, in August 2006, was comprised of a peace delegation where he and 15 other peace activists –on a mission to listen the Iraqi voices -- met with Iraqi members of Parliament, sheiks, and torture survivors. The second meeting occurred when he accompanied Congressman Jim McDermott of Washington State. Dal produced video presentations from both of these meetings and is using them to help educate members of the U.S. Congress and other Americans as to the Iraqi perspective on the war. In March of this year, Dal produced a live video conference between members of the U.S. Congress and Members of the Iraq Parliament.
