Reader Reviews
This is an excellent documentary which samples opinions from many Iraqis of different social, economic, and educational levels regarding the American occupation and the ousting of Saddam Hussein. If you want to hear Iraqis who welcome the US soldiers as saviors, as well as those who believe they're occupying agressors who are only after oil, that's all here-- as well as opinions of every shade in between. More significantly, seeing the different people in their own environment, speaking their own language and interacting both with the interviewers and with one another, gives an excellent and often-absent context for these opinions. At the same time, seeing all the opinions together and in context, makes it clear to the viewer not only that there is more complexity of opinion than the normal sound-bites allow for, but also helps the viewer to understand how even within one country, different people with different backgrounds and interests, can have radically divergent opinions on this subject. Incidentally, the fact that the interviewees are translated by means of subtitles, rather than dubbing, makes this an excellent resource for students of Arabic and Iraqi. Most of the interviewees speak in Iraqi dialect, although the more educated ones speak in standard Arabic or English. (Interestly enough, the more education Iraqis who speak in English and foojha tend to be much more anti-American than the more common Iraqis, which was a surprise to me, personally.) All in all, an excellent documentary.
