A look at the effect of the Iraq war through the eyes of an ordinary Iraqi woman
Saturday, March 8 @ 7:30PM
My Home - Your War
(Australia, 2006, 52 mins)
MY HOME - YOUR WAR offers an exceptional look at the effect of the Iraq war through the eyes of an ordinary Iraqi woman. Shot in Baghdad over three years that span the time before, during and after the invasion of Iraq, this profoundly moving film brings a perspective that - until now - has rarely been available to U.S. audiences. This film combines insightful interviews with Layla Hassan and her family, vibrant scenes of Baghdad and intimate footage shot by Layla herself to paint a compelling picture of how the war has affected average Iraqis.
Post-film discussion features special guest Dr. Tahir Al-Bakaa, former Minister of Higher Education in Iraq
