KU filmmaker debuts Baghdad, Kansas

Ranjit Arab had already read a story in the Lawrence Journal-World about Mike Sanger when he saw news footage of the Iraq war veteran returning his medals to Congressman Dennis Moore’s office. He’d never met the guy, but the media portrayal of the anti-war activist rubbed Arab, pursuing a master’s degree in journalism at the University of Kansas, the wrong way. With an award-winning documentary already on his resume, Arab decided to set the record straight himself by doing Sanger’s story justice. Yesterday, he debuted the result.
