IN THEATERS NOVEMBER 8, 2006



Remarkable, gritty, and unforgettable, this documentary--the winner of three major awards at Sundance--examines the realities of daily life in modern war-torn Iraq in three acts, spanning religious and ethnic differences. The first segment follows an orphaned 11-year-old apprenticed to a tough auto mechanic in the center of Baghdad; the second focuses on fundamentalist Shiite politics, their militias enforcement of Islamic law, and their violent conflict with U.S. troops; and the third observes a Kurdish family and community beginning to explore its newfound freedoms and troubles.
