Details
French-born journalist Feurat Alani narrates this animated documentary about his complicated connection to Iraq, the country of his parents.
His gripping storytelling comes to life with director Léonard Cohen’s evocative animation, conjuring up Alani’s family in Iraq and his own introduction to the country as a boy, under the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. With touching vulnerability, Alani depicts his relationship with his revolutionary father, who was exiled from his homeland but never lost his love for her.
Nimbly covering five decades of upheaval, from Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait to the American occupation and the subsequent rise of Al Qaeda and Islamic State, Alani presents a piercing perspective on US intervention in the region from a place of deep, personal understanding.
