Description
Iraqi director Mohamed Al-Daradji takes us on a personal journey through his homeland after 25 years of dictatorship, three wars and three occupations. Finding the once vibrant streets now consumed by unemployment and poverty, he is determined to fulfil his dream of making a film in the country he loves. Facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, through Al-Daradji's lens, we see a spectrum of society previously sidelined by images of war and the Iraqi people's unwavering spirit to survive.
