In early 2007, George Packer published an article in The New Yorker about Iraqi interpreters who jeopardized their lives on behalf of the Americans in Iraq, with little or no U.S. protection or security. The article drew national attention to the humanitarian crisis and moral scandal.
Betrayed, based on Mr. Packer’s interviews in Baghdad, tells the story of three young Iraqis – two men and one woman – motivated to risk everything by America’s promise of freedom. Betrayed explores the complex relationships among the Iraqis themselves, and with their American supervisor, struggling to find purpose while a country collapses around them.
Culture Project presented the world premiere of Betrayed in early 2008; Thirteen/WNET filmed the production for broadcast on PBS.

The Screening will be followed by a Q&A to include director Pippin Parker actor Sevan Greene.
