SBS's Dateline has been presenting real life stories to critical acclaim, from all corners of this diverse but war-torn country.

Since 2003, SBS's award-winning Dateline series has presented numerous memorable reports from Iraq.

Covering the spectrum of issues, watch the interview with former UN Chief Weapons Inspector Hans Blix to see where it all began, or see incumbent Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki in interview with George Negus.

For a different view, Sophie McNeill's portrait of the persecution and attacks on the forgotten Yazidi minority hits home, while her examination of the 'Kurdish Question' visits an issue at the challenging heart of the search for Iraqi national unity. Images taken at Abu Ghraib prison have been seared on the memory of a generation, and Olivia Rousset's work from 2006, broadcast on Dateline, shone the international spotlight firmly on the issue.

Finally, August's chilling 'Iraq's Deadly Legacy' from Fouad Hady, a former Iraqi refugee who headed for Australia, takes a look at the horrifying consequences that depleted uranium use by US troops has allegedly had on newborn babies in Falluja.
