Five years on from the fall of its infamous and bloody dictator, is the new “democratic” Iraq a better place for Iraqis? Jon Snow uncovers the daily reality of post-invasion Iraq, meeting ordinary Iraqis and deploying regional video journalists to reach areas few Western journalists could ever contemplate. Delving behind Coalition rhetoric about the success of the “surge”, Snow discovers a collapsing state, failing to provide services for its citizens, fragmenting into sectarian fiefdoms and ruled by brutal street militias. “Jon Snow’s Hidden Iraq” unravels the true story of life after Saddam.
