Filmmaker Notes
Director's Note: After seeing images of the Iraq war on the nightly news, I knew there was much more to the story than the mainstream media was telling us. I decided to go to Iraq myself to meet the people and document what was going on first-hand. The media only shows bombs and press conferences, the world deserves more. Director's Bio: Award-winning filmmaker, lecturer and journalist Mike Shiley, has been to the most dangerous places in the world. He lived in and traveled through the Middle East, covered wars in Iraq and Kosovo, reported on the tsunami in SE Asia and the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. An avid world adventure traveler, Mike has visited 38 countries. He has trekked to Everest Base Camp in Nepal, completed a 3,000-mile solo bicycle trip from Canada to Mexico, climbed 14 mountains in the Pacific Northwest, and is a ski instructor for the handicapped. An accomplished scuba diver and a certified Divemaster, he has guided over 250 dives in the Red Sea in Egypt. Mike has produced six feature length documentary films. His last two films have been official selections in over 30 film festivals and have won Best Documentary awards five times. The Smithsonian Institution selected Shiley’s new film, Dark Water Rising, to be a part of its permanent collection on Hurricane Katrina. Mike has spoken and shown his films over 400 times in 35 states and seven countries. Mike is 39 and lives in Portland, Oregon. Related Films
