Aftermath

BY JESSICA BLANK AND ERIK JENSEN

March 20, 2003. A date that the ordinary people of Iraq will never forget. A day that changed their lives forever.
 
In June 2008, the award–winning creators of The Exonerated travelled to Jordan to find out firsthand what happened to the Iraqi civilians who fled in the wake of the Iraq War.

Blank and Jensen interviewed some 35 people – a cross­–section of lives interrupted – who fled the chaos and violence that befell Iraqi society for the relative safety of Jordan. Following the visit  to Amman, these encounters were crafted into an unforgettable and highly acclaimed play.
