... creates an extraordinarily intimate portrait of Iraqis living under U.S. occupation. The Oscar Nominated film focuses on an Iraqi medical doctor, father of six, Sunni political candidate, and an outspoken critic of the occupation, who is passionate about the need to establish democracy in Iraq ... yet all around him, Dr. Riyadh sees only chaos, as his waiting room fills each day with patients suffering the physical and mental effects of ever-increasing violence in a landscape of the United States’ military occupation.
Unfolding like a narrative drama, MY COUNTRY, MY COUNTRY follows the agonizing predicament and gradual descent of one man caught in the tragic contradictions of the U.S. occupation of Iraq and its project to spread democracy in the Middle East.
