A film that illuminates post-war Iraq in three acts, building a vivid picture of a country pulled in different directions by religion and ethnicity.

Culled from 300 hours of footage taken over a two-year period, filmmaker James Longley's documentary feature shadows ordinary Iraqi citizens in three crucial yet fractured regions—Baghdad, the Shiite south, the Kurdish north—as they struggle through a chaotic present and face a distant, uncertain future.
