The Ground Truth Project is a series of interviews with Iraqis, aid workers, returning soldiers, and organizations who have lived, worked or served in Iraq. The interviews offer an often overlooked perspective on Iraq by providing first-hand accounts of the realities of life in Iraq. The Ground Truth Project helps to shape the debate about Iraq in Washington by amplifying the voices of those who have been in and experienced Iraq. By offering perspectives about Iraq that can only be gained from being there, EPIC hopes these interviews will inspire meaningful policy change and citizen action in support of a better future for all Iraqis.
