My Country My Country
"My Country My Country" opened in theaters last August 4th. Just got around to seeing it, in the company of

davidrovics and Reiko. Filmmaker/Director Laura Poitras documents eight months in the life of a sunni Iraqi doctor and his family. Dr. Riyadh, a father of six, is trapped under the chaos and mayhem of the Bush/Blair occupation and attempting to deal with the cynicism and danger of the impending Iraqi elections. Very eye opening. Very humorous, scary, poignant, and very human. Definitely a film worthy of seeing. Also saw a good preview for "The US Versus John Lennon" and the new Al Frankin movie, "God Spoke" preview, which featured a great clip of Medea Benjamin being hauled out of the RNC in `04.
My Country My Country will appear on PBS on October 25th, 9pm.
