Photojournalist and filmmaker Molly Bingham is Bill Goodman’s guest on the next One to One, airing Monday, Dec. 3 at 12:30/11:30 a.m. CT on KET1 and Tuesday, Dec. 4 at 7:30/6:30 p.m. CT on KET2.
Bingham, the daughter of the late Courier-Journal editor Barry Bingham, is the writer and director of Meeting Resistance. Set in the Adhamiya neighborhood of Baghdad, the documentary profiles eight insurgents, each with his or her own reasons for opposing the American-led occupation. Bingham talks about her experiences during filming, including a visit to a sacred mosque where she met a man who participated in the Iraqi resistance.
Bingham also discusses her childhood interest in photography and her work as a photojournalist. During her career, she has covered the genocide in Rwanda, Al Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign and the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11. She was arrested at the start of the Iraq war by Saddam Hussein’s secret police and held for eight days in Abu Ghraib. Her experiences there were chronicled in the film Bearing Witness.
