Bahman Ghobadi's award-winning film Turtles Can Fly follows the lives and relationships of a group of Kurdish orphans on the eve of the invasion of Iraq.The resourceful 13-year old Soran is nick-named Satellite for his ability to mobilise his child gang in the acquisition and installation of the satellite dishes that the villagers hope will relay news of the down-fall of Sadam.
