"Harrowing and beautiful" wrote Variety's Jay Weissberg about this Iraqi film from Mohamed Al-Daradji. As U.S. forces invade Iraq in 2003, three patients at a bombed out Baghdad mental hospital escape and venture out into the chaos in the streets. Story has it that Al-Daradji carried an AK-47 on him at all times, and that some of his crew were beaten, kidnapped, and later interrogated in the process of making this "impressive achievement" (Variety). In Arabic with English subtitles.                               Mohamed Al-Daradji---Iraq---2005---110 mins.
