From Wafaa Bilal's performance piece "Domestic Tension."
 We'll talk with an Iraqi-American artist who wanted to make a statement about the war in Iraq.  For one month, he invited Internet users to virtually shoot at him while he lived alone in a prison cell-sized room. He writes about his experiences in his new memoir Shoot an Iraqi: Art, Live and Resistance Under the Gun. Also, Milos Stehlik tells us about the work of Polish filmmaker Jerzy Kawalerowicz.
