Logo for Storyville - Iraq in Fragments

Documentary which illuminates post-war Iraq in three acts, building a vivid picture of a country pulled in different directions by religion and ethnicity. Mohammed Haithem is an 11-year-old auto mechanic in Baghdad with a missing father. Inside the Shiite political/religious movement of Moqtada Sadr, men push for regional elections and Islamic law, as moderate views are swept aside. Iraqi Kurds assert their bid for independence, through both the secular and the religious voices of the people.
