Exile & Empire: 20 Shorts on Iraq

Exile & Empire: 20 Shorts on Iraq is a personal documentary by Duraid Munajim that has a range of visual styles and content from home movies to stylized footage to time lapse to documents and still photographs. Understated and quite moving at times, it started out as a film about Iraqi exiles, but then the war in Iraq happened and the filmmaker was in Bagdad days after it fell. It's a fascinating glimpse of Iraq on a very personal level.
