One year ago today, I took a back pack and two boxes full of spare TV gear to Iraq.

I had no idea what I would see, only where I would I go--Baghdad, Al Anbar province, Kharmah.

What I saw through the camera lens is what you will see on the three DVD episodes .

My documentaries about Iraq are unlike the approach of most documentary projects.  Most documentary films are written before the first frame of footage is shot.  They are scripted, planned and even rehearsed.  Many of them, ala Michael Moore, star the director as the director begins with a premise and goes about proving it.

Last year I put some clips up and declared--"this is not a trailer."

Friends, this...is a trailer .

The DVD...which is actually a Double Disc documentary trilogy is so close to be released it is maddening.  (Individual episodes will also be sold on DVD.)

The three episodes, with all the special features, will give you 190 minutes of Iraq as only those who operate outside the wire get to see it.

What started last year about this time when I went to Iraq is about to reach its logical conclusion.

I can't wait to get to back to Iraq to start the process all over again.

There are more documentaries in the Outside the Wire Series to come.
