SBS Dateline | Finding a Story

Video journalist Fouad Hady says the streets of his native Iraq are full of stories, and the one he found for Dateline was painful for both the victims and for him.

For this behind the scenes feature, he talks about how he came to be near a bomb attack in Baghdad... arriving to find people who'd lost loved ones, their homes and all their possessions.

How did he persuade people in such distress to tell their story? And what effect did it have on him personally?
