More on Errol Morris and Abu Ghraib

Errol Morris recently spoke at the Chicago Humanities Festival, giving more details about his Abu Ghraib documentary.

Morris's presentation mostly talked about that idea of the iconic photograph. What can we learn from them? To what extent are they posed or performance? An interesting aspect about the Abu Ghraib project is that Morris has the opportunity to interview the photographers. We have an opportunity for more context than just the images themselves.
