"Under the Skies of Baghdad"
(dir. by Mario Balsamo & Stefan Scialotti)

MIT Room 10-250
Hosted by Leila Farsakh, Sahar Bazzaz,
and Dean Ayida Mthembu, the event is
open to all; admission is free
DETAILS
Please join us for the US premiere of a new film about the
lives of ordinary people under attack in the Iraqi capital.
The film was shot and edited in late 2002 and early 2003.
In their interactions with the film-makers, Iraqis of all
ages reveal not only what they think about past, present,
and future US attacks on their country but also how they
cope with the effects emotionally and spiritually. "You
didn't feel what we felt. You watched it on television,
just like a game. Whereas it was death. They destroyed
everything. ... Our sky became their sky, because they
played in it with their bombs ... in our sky." As vivid
as it is poignant, the film is a must-see for all who seek
to understand what war really entails.
