Iraqi director Mohamed Al-Daradji and his film crew return to Baghdad after 35 years of dictatorship under Saddam Hussein to make the first post-revolution feature film in this war-torn country. Struggling against persecution, imprisonment, injuries, terrorist attacks and the American army, Iraq is determined to survive. This film is crucial to our understanding of a nation at war and as Mohamed explores his country, we see the real Iraqi people and their spirit as never before.
