IRAQ

It is very difficult to put our hands on all the details of Iraqi pain. It is even harder to find a key or a clue or an equal to it, at least for us. We, ‘the last generation’ have witnessed three wars, a siege and the crushing of the world’s most fierce dictator under the wheels of the world’s strongest tank. We are at the crossroads of two powers as they crash into each other. The American tank with its spectrum of a cultural system, its lifestyle and the hangman’s rope that stretches out to all those who dare step out of that one house, that one neighbourhood, that one party, that one authority, that one art. It is always hard to be at this crossroads when it is such an unstable meeting place.

Our film talks precisely about this crossroads.
