Description
Hassan is a young Iraqi documentary filmmaker who attempts to adjust his life in a materially, humanly, and ideologically destroyed city. After the American invasion of Iraq, he decided to start filming a documentary about his beloved Baghdad. The first feature-length film shot on location in the city after the war, 'Underexposure' blends reality and fiction to create a lyrical and textured work that captures the dizzying atmosphere of life during the war and fiercely illuminates a part of the world long left in the dim.
