Full Plot Details

One hundred fifty digital video cameras are distributed to everyday Iraqis, they encouraged to record their feelings about their life. They are also encouraged to pass the cameras along to get as many Iraqis across the country to participate in this project as possible. The cameras are in circulation from April to September 2004, shortly after the American bombing of Fallujah and the fall of the dictatorial regime of Saddam Hussein, the resulting footage which is compiled as this movie. Most of the subjects talk about issues around Hussein versus the Americans, and whether their lives and of Iraqis in general are better off now or then, their thoughts about democracy in general and how it applies to Iraq, and what they want to see for their future. A few also steer clear of politics altogether, they wanting to focus on happier things in their life. As the cameras move around the country, regional differences emerge, such as the Kurds of the north, who were persecuted by Hussein, having a unique perspective. Differences also emerge based on individual exposure to Hussein and/or his associates, or to what recently occurred in Fallujah. This digital camera footage is interspersed with other videos, including propaganda video by jihadis, and found unofficial videos recorded by Hussein's regime documenting their actions while in power, and with western media headlines about the Iraqi situation which has largely shaped the western view of life in Iraq.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Jonathan CurielA must-see for anyone still coming to terms with the chaos in Iraq.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kevin CrustBy turns heartbreaking, amusing and disturbing, the film features people from different regions, economic classes and religions, recounting stories that are sometimes bleak, sometimes encouraging, but always compelling.
Dallas Observer - 8/10 by Gregory WeinkaufThe overall effect is scintillating and very engaging -- literally history in the making.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Dana StevensIf this film cannot claim to represent the political "truth" about the war - what film could? - it certainly provides a broad glimpse of daily life in Iraq.
The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Sheri LindenIn a season of proliferating issue-oriented documentaries, Voices of Iraq stands out by the sheer nature of its provenance: Iraqis themselves filmed the footage during a six-month period this year.
Variety - 7/10 by Robert KoehlerWith Iraqis pointing cameras at each other, the result is cheerier than might be expected.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Michael O'SullivanIt's certainly important for American leftists to consider that many Iraqis have benefited from the war that we oppose, but the omission of historical context here misrepresents the checkered history of American involvement in the region.
New York Post - 5/10 by Lou LumenickA surprisingly upbeat look at that Middle East hotspot.
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Jack MathewsThe latest - and really last-minute - documentary hoping to affect the presidential election is a deceptively partisan view of the Iraq War.
