Shot in Baghdad over
three years - before, during and after the Coalition
attack on Iraq, My Home, your War takes us inside
the home of an Iraqi family as they deal with the
disruptions and terrors of war as it affects their
daily lives. Layla Hasan, 40, husband and teenage
son, live in the district of Adhamiya, the heartland
of Sunni Muslim resistance against US forces in
Baghdad. Striking and intelligent, Layla speaks four
languages; she had little choice when she was
hand-picked to work as a translator for Saddam's
regime. When the US forces arrived she hoped they
might offer a path to freedom. Yet now the war is
testing her most intimate relationships. Meet her
shy teenage son who she suspects is working with the
anti-US resistance; her steady but workaholic
husband: and her once radical sister who is becoming
increasingly conservative and religious as the chaos
of Baghdad fuels her insecurities. Layla, herself,
becomes more personally isolated as the war
progresses and she dreams of escaping to another
country. |
