Denver (ots/PRNewswire)
Thought Equity, a leader in digital footage management and stock footage licensing services, announced today that exclusive footage of Iraq's first free election in 50 years, held on Sunday, January 30, 2005, is now available for license at www.thoughtequity.com as part of the company's online inventory of licensable stock footage. The footage was obtained by an exclusive Thought Equity affiliate in Iraq.

Extensive coverage of every aspect of the historical election includes voting lines, polling precincts, security checkpoints, and fingerprinting, and is being made available for public licensing as of today. The footage is exclusive to Thought Equity and, as of the release of this press announcement, has not previously been publicly viewed or broadcast.
