http://www.aboutbaghdad.com/ Filmmakers against war will be presenting InCounter Productions' film, "About
Baghdad" at London's 'The Other Cinema' on Thursday 28th October.
"The film is elegantly photographed, cleverly cropped to make subtitles clear
and dramatic, and edited in a way that creates a spiral of insights as it moves
from person to person, neighborhood to neighborhood, around the city of more
than 5 million people. It is not dogmatic and it is not propagandistic; there are
American soldiers speaking honestly about what they believe they're
accomplishing, and there are Iraqis who are glad the Americans came. But the
overwhelming message after listening to scores of people--artists and
unemployed factory workers, businessmen and women's rights activists, victims
of torture and families of the disappeared--is that these are ordinary and
extraordinary people who just want their country back."
