In Saddam's Shadow with Suroosh Alvi: Baghdad 10 Years After the Invasion (Part 2/4)

[@durstwurst]

real fkn journalism! What a delight! You're a rare breed one has to search with a magnifier even today with the internet and all. You and a handfull of other journalists out there are the reason to not lose hope in humanity for me. Thanks, vice! Keep'em coming & stay awesome.

[@siberianwinter57]

So far I am loving this documentary, great job Vice!

[@Aceswild269]

Can't wait for part 3,,enjoying seeing how it looks now and what the people really think

[@WhatDehFish]

Vice needs the support and consider that some people use adblocks so they don't get anything revenue from those views. Independent news media is rare as is honesty in journalism.

[@redneckcaseyjones]

This is what i was just searching for, Thanks vice!

[@Shweeed]

such a great documentary so far. vice, you're the shit. such great work

[@kountershock777JS]

Ah release more, this is the first time a news report has actually caught my attention, I'm eager as hell to see what you covered, please Vice more videos like this and the cannibal warlords of Liberia, cover things the media refuses to cover.

[@Edtijo]

This series is legit. Very good Vice!

[@monikhushalpuri]

What happened to the other guys from the band ? Any follow ups ?

[@GoreTorn16]

Can't wait till part 3!

[@EJConrad]

why are the parts so short! wheres the full version!

[@HairyMrGina]

Im really enjoying this series of episodes!

[@iNoor440]

VICE please upload your documentaries in one part.

[@CynicalMartian]

Might have to do with file size. It may be easier to upload 4 high quality chunks of one video rather than have to compress the entire video in one file, which degrades the quality.

[@cyberspaceturbobass]

vice rules. love stuff like this. please keep it up! what about some stuff about eastern europe? serbia?

[@zainhasnain1612]

They're releasing one video a day I think, even though I prefer to watch parts in succession, it's better than nothing.

[@420MrReefer]

is part 3 up yet ?

[@XxjacobbsmithxX]

How come ads load in HD no problem but it barely loads 480P after buffering for 2 mins

[@KyleRobertBryant]

my right ear really enjoyed the Vice News transmission noises.

[@NoCrust]

where are the rest of these videos?

[@kylemacmillan652]

Ahhh I wish they would just upload all 4 parts at once!

[@Cyberpunk747]

I need to find the song they used for the intro!

[@lencekk]

Great, but next time upload an entire documentary in one part.

[@antifacisme]

I can't find episode 3? ):

[@MAXIMUMinHD]

thanks for the insight and somewhat objektive point of view, sometimes I could like some raw material instead of the reporter telling me everything. anyway it is exciting to hear about the whole thing and the changes it have brought with it.

[@farenht456]

the vice intro man...hard on the ears.

[@nofd1977]

Where is part 3 and 4

[@Arnisho]

And its our duty as people from all over the world to spread journalism like this since its unbiased.

[@t0nytonyt0ny]

They do this to try to give out these awesome docs directly, while we are watching 2/4 one of the vice geniuses is probably creating the 3rd.

[@Snipa009]

Vice, the content is magnificent, but the length of the parts are somewhat short. I think that since this documentary is so important, the videos should be a bit longer, like around 10 mins. I understand it takes a lot of time to edit but the viewers would love longer videos, just to hold us over until more stuff comes out.

[@ivinyo16]

Because of VICE, I'm seeing a lot of countries in a whole new different perspective.

[@tankadude]

VICE is a huge magazine that sells all over the world. This isn't a small group of people who make youtube videos.

[@oscarevans5298]

It's far from a small group of people, check out the Vice HQ tour video they put up

[@bart-uzi-yak]

Ok I know this is a serious matter in iraq but I lost it at 4:06 when he said "look at this fucking shit, man" lol XD

[@TheHollowCostOfJuice]

lol me too

[@WizzleThump]

They are actually a large magazine with over 1,000,000 youtube subscribers.

[@420MrReefer]

seriously wheres part 3

[@recklessdreadful]

Yea but its grown rapidly. I remember reading vice magazines in Montreal back in the day. Forever killing it.

[@CriticalEatsJapan]

All this and ad revenue helps support them so they can even make these kinds of documentaries. I suppose if you sent them a big fat cheque they might consider uploading it in one chunk. But come on, you're getting a free ride, show some appreciation...

[@rebel27031990]

suroosh alvi is back .. yayyyyyyy

[@ica949]

that bomb explosion was nuts u could see the air waves move so fucking fast crazy shit good video

[@HypnoKraken]

The static at the start murdered my ear lol

[@stripper115js14]

Exactly, which why im on vice's leg every week!

[@stripper115js14]

making me wait a day for part 2 vice oh my not kool! I want my cake now dammnit! lmao, still love ya tho!

[@wdqgdf]

And it's a lot bigger and older than their KZbin channel.

[@lubermanl]

It might be for hits but it could also easily be due to attention span of the audience. For example a song is considered long if it goes more then 3 minutes. 7 minute segments are less 'intimidating' and/or perhaps able to hold attention better then a 35 minute video. Like if you see a 400 page book, it might do better as 3 170 page books because its less intimidating.

[@Frankyfrank873521]

I was buggin when i read the title... I thought it read "In Sadaams Shower".

[@Polska675]

this is why i love vice :)

[@TheBoxOfBeats]

How do you know that?

[@wotutellinme4]

Proper Documentary this 1 Vice... Nice 1 XD

[@moonasha]

love this

[@T0MZ0]

Why do we have to wait till tomorrow :(

[@IhsanMujdeci]

This series does a good job at humanising the Islamic and Iraq people. I am Muslim and was born in a western county and I have people be surprised that I'm Islamic and yet not a complete nut. All we need to do is spread this idea that we are all the same.

[@Romeowns]

God, I HATE that startup audio clip - WHY do you freakin' force that on us?!

[@CeoLogJM]

I would personally rather to give my fav news source more ad revenue.

[@namanicha]

CHANGE OR REMOVE THE INTRO!

[@BumbleBeat21]

It's not that that small nor that huge. Not as huge as Fox or CNN or anything, but huge enough to have its own large office with a lot of staff. I just watched a Vice video on a "behind-the-scenes" at Vice where they tour their office. Check that out.

[@o0GrayMatters0o]

i think part of it is the fact that someone has to edit what is sometimes hundreds of hours of footage just to bring you a free documentary, and still the complainers when they seek ad revenue.

[@hossamm3]

the translation is wrong

[@DGpawnshop]

Was there a film on netflixs about this "heavy metal band"?

[@Leedals]

I'd rather have one large documentary. I can wait.

[@diamondhector]

Good video

[@Cyaneyed77]

I agree. I think they do it for psychological reasons, to keep it like a tv channel, keep you comiing back, make you more familiar with them, rather than watching everything in one shot and not coming back. Also makes people more likely to subscribe, so they dont forget to look for the next part. Cynical but effective.

[@MidiPunk]

I sure hope there's a McDonalds in Part 3 or 4.

[@vTravelv]

again, very bad translation, who translates for you?

[@GrimTheCrow]

And us viewers are a part of it.

[@ATBatmanMALS31]

blew my fuckin speaker >.> thanks for the intro vice

[@tylowylo12321]

Vice isn't exactly "a small group of people doing youtube videos". I see what you're saying though.

[@Crow667]

More views is probably the reason. I know it kinda sucks but I feel vice needs that extra cash.

[@thewetarded]

its my birthday during the 10 year anniversary today

[@Zetunez]

Try foreign correspondent/Journeyman Pictures

[@trollfinger]

In 10 years? Watch Robert Fisk, John Pilger, Jon Snow's Dispatches programmes. Check out the channel for The Frontline Club. There is amazing journalism out there, and it's all at your fingertips.

[@isokessu]

As I live in Finland, I have not been in any kind of checkpoint in my life. I just can't imagine that somebody would check if I have weapons, or some illegal stuff with me in my home city, unless I do something crazy. I understand that the city borders would have some checkpoints in situation like Baghdad has now. I also wonder, would there be any civil war (or whatever it's called in Iraq), if there would not be checkpoints. I thought that city cannot evolve if the transportation is slow but that doesn't seem to be problem in Baghdad. They must have really good traffic system if people can go to work or school via the checkpoints so that it doesn't take too much time. It's really funny and odd to walk from Finland to Sweden at winter. You can't even see where the border goes and nobody asks questions. I don't remember do they ever ask passport from car drivers but not very often.

[@ShaktipatSeer2]

Drives me crazy when they upload one part every day... Ugh

[@Bforeelz]

vice is taking over

[@Jenna08848]

GREAT REPORTING,, WELL DONE,, STAY SAFE PLEASE

[@oGsTrapezoID]

I love VICE more than anyone ;)

[@marrickvillian]

Please change that intro, Vice.

[@Cillianofarrell]

It's relatively tiny compared to mainstream media though.

[@PSYCHOPATHsam]

His ideas of peace and prosperity is completely different from yours in a way you can't even fathom because you didn't grow up where and with the people he did.

[@MrPlaidFace]

God gave rock and roll to you, put it in the souls of everyone.

[@chsandstrom]

It's still free shit, so be grateful for those 7 minutes...

[@whitesox127]

Seeing things for what they are and not for what our media portrays it as.

[@SovietButcher]

Forget it, he probably thinks Vice isn't biased.

[@JumpinJoe]

They need to stop splitting these into parts.

[@772steve]

R.I.P all headphones users

[@FredLimestone]

Religion is a prison for your mind.

[@WessCNY]

So they consider Americans to be a negative influence, but blowing each other up because of the way they interpret teachings in an ancient book is positive?

[@TheGingerbreadman812]

Where is the dog fight one????????????

[@AJ-zt9pc]

you guys upload 3 or 4 bullshit Spring Break videos in one day and upload the good stuff piece by piece one day at a time..

[@MrLizson]

True.. but these clips are not free to make. I dont really mind it.

[@nasrarules]

I am not advocating religious states but showing that evil can come with non-religious states too. They don't have an organized religious state based on religion. The USSR was declared a non-religious state in fact and atheist. Us humans are one of hell of a species whether or not we are religious we seem to ruin something.

[@tblackhandful]

Technology and culture dont require government to make progress. In fact they tend to hinder it.

[@callowaymotorcompany]

They get ad revenue per view. Splitting a video into 3 pieces = 3 times the AD views and 3 times the revenue. They do it for money.

[@buu291]

That would pretty much make almost all of them. Most religions of the world have fringe militant sects. Even Christianity preaches similar doctrines (depending on which of the 30,000 denominations you look at) but instead of calling on the masses to wage full scale war like the Crusades, it's just been reduced to mostly acts of passive aggressive intolerance, bigotry, and hatred, Westboro Baptist Church and the Catholic bombings of abortion clinics are an example of this.

[@jazerazo]

good thing I always check the comments first.

[@SuperTchoks]

This is the kind of videos we want to see, we don't want videos about cats >.

[@MrVoek]

Its free because we don't pay money to watch the videos. If it was not free (which you obviously don't understand the meaning of it, but i will hope you google it, or look in a dictionary) then we would have to pay money. Before we could watch it would say "Please pay (INSERT PRICE HERE) to watch (INSERT VIDEO NAME HERE) by vice"

[@techdeth]

at the end, Bhagdad blast beats?!? sweet! hah

[@Th3Enthusiast]

Mohammad, Koran or Islam in general, are no excuses for the hatred of Muslims. Period.

[@saeediraqi2816]

thanks pro
