American Documentary maker Deborah Scranton is at The Frontline Club on Friday talking about her latest film Bad Voodoo's War. Go and see her if you can. She covers wars from the inside, putting cameras in the hands of soldiers and getting to understand what it's like from their perspective. It makes for astonishing viewing - look at this talk she gave at TED about a previous film, The War Tapes.
