Photographing America’s Wounded Soldiers in Iraq - Nat Geo Live

Can the public handle seeing photos of wounded American soldiers? In 2004 photojournalist Lynsey Addario took an assignment with a major U.S. magazine photographing wounded Americans coming out of Fallujah. But the magazine deemed the images too disturbing for publication and informed Addario that the photos would not be published. The National Geographic Live series brings thought-provoking presentations by today’s leading explorers, scientists, photographers, and performing artists right to you. Each presentation is filmed in front of a live audience at National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C. New clips air every Monday.
