# About Baghdad (2004)

2004 · Documentary · United States


## Synopsis

About Baghdad is a documentary film shot in Baghdad, Iraq in July 2003, 3 months after the collapse of the Saddam Hussein regime. Additionally, It is the first documentary film to have been made in Iraq following the fall of the Baath regime. The film features the artist Sinan Antoon as he returns to his native Baghdad, after leaving Iraq in 1991. It privileges the voices of native Iraqis from all walks of life, as they present their views on life during the regime of Saddam Hussein as well as the United States's bombing, invasion, and occupation. Thus, the aim of the documentary is to provide insight in the complexity of the Iraqi's perspectives and to move beyond the marginalization and misrepresentations of the Iraqi's voices by mainstream media.
