““I was a part of the propaganda machine. I realized this right away. As Enas and I drove around with a cameraman, reporting stories on street children, wounded civilians, and cease-fires that didn’t cease anything, Mr. Nadjafi collected my footage and edited it in ways that cast American troops and American policy in the worst possible light. He rewrote my scripts so that any mention of the war would be described as “the American-led invasion” or “the American-led occupation.””
![“I'd spent my life believing that people were, at heart, kind and good. This was what the world had shown me. [...] If humans could be this monstrous, maybe I'd had everything wrong. If thid was the world, I didn't want to live in it. That was the scariest and most disabling thought of all,” quote by Amanda Lindhout](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9e3/amanda-lindhout-8267_life_i-d-spent-my-life-believing-that-people_140063.jpg)
