The unfolding events in the run up to the Iraq war had
given Tom Hurndall, a 21-year-old British photojournalist, an
increased curiosity and desire to journey to the Middle East. In
February 2003, initially as an observer alongside the Human
Shields, he left with a passion to make a difference, to record
and photograph the truth for himself.
We follow his journey first from Baghdad, then to Amman and
the Al-Rweished refugee camp in Jordan, and finally on to the
town of Rafah in Gaza close to the Egyptian border, where US
peaceworker Rachel Corrie had been killed just weeks previously.
On April 11th, unarmed and wearing an internationally
recognizable orange peacekeeper jacket, he was severely
wounded while carrying Palestinian children to safety. He died
nine months later in a London hospital.
The book follows Tom s life and thoughts in the final weeks
leading up to the shooting. Motivated by a sense of injustice and
striving to remain objective we are drawn into his increasingly
serious photographs and words, through extracts from his diary,
emails and poems.
It is realised through collaboration with the Hurndall family
on the sixth anniversary of the fateful day, no of that fateful day
recent Channel 4 film-documentary The Shooting of Thomas
Hurndall .
