as part of our hmework on da site we gta look into 3 documentaries
so the first one im gona focus on is Iraq in Fragments by james longley...
James Longley spent more than two years on the ground in Iraq where he got to know families in the Kurdish, Shiite, and Sunni regions. Divided into three chapters, the film stands out among the Iraq War documentaries released to date on the strength of its gorgeous cinematography. Though filming completed before 2006's escalation of internal conflict, the film makes clear the dramatic cultural divides Iraq faces.
Even though this documentary doesn't focus on all the aspects our documentary will, it shows the division within the nation and can explain the differences between kurdish people and iraqis.
"To many Kurds, who have found their true identity, Kurdistan resembles a mother that has been suppressed and taken advantage of by four influential men in the Middle East. In this age such a mother should be free to make a choice."
BtW KuRdiStaN (A.K.A 'Kurdewarî') UseD tO B a CItY In IRaQ (and ThEIr Is AnOtHeR PArT Of KuRdIsTan In irAN, SyRIA AnD TuRkEy) anD wAS RuLeD OvER By ManY OtHeR cOuNtRIES But FiNaLLy GoT THeIr InDePeNdANcE.
this shows how kurdistan has been split up between turkey syria iraq iran and armenia. Kurdistan as a whole has been highlighted with the kurdish flag.
The iraqi flag.
btw vishna wen u asked how tara fits into this...we're thinking of focusing the documentary on taras life in the U.K and how she's coped...why she came here...and what she thinks of saddam hussein's reign and his exectution...hope dat answered ur question

history of iraq under saddams reign
Under Saddam
In July 1979, president Ahmed Hassan Al-Bakr resigned, and his chosen successor, Saddam Hussein, assumed the offices of both President and Chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council. He was the de facto ruler of Iraq for some years before he formally came to power.
Territorial disputes with Iran led to an inconclusive and costly eight-year war, the Iran-Iraq War (1980 – 1988, termed Qādisiyyat-Saddām – 'Saddam's Qādisiyyah'), eventually devastating the economy. Iraq declared victory in 1988 but actually achieved a weary return to the status quo ante bellum. The war left Iraq with the largest military establishment in the Persian Gulf region but with huge debts and an ongoing rebellion by Kurdish elements in the northern mountains. The government suppressed the rebellion by using weapons on civilian targets.
A mass chemical weapons attack on the city of Halabja in March 1988 during the Iran-Iraq War is usually attributed to Saddam's regime, although responsibility for the attack is a matter of some dispute[1] (Saddam maintains his innocence in this matter). Almost all current accounts of the incident regard the Iraqi regime as the party responsible for the gas attack (as opposed to Iran), and the event has become iconic in depictions of Saddam's cruelty. Estimates of casualties range from several hundred to at least 7,000 people. The Iraqi government continued to be supported by a broad international community including most of the West, the Soviet Union, and the People's Republic of China, which continued sending arms shipments to combat Iran. Indeed, shipments from the US (though always a minority) increased after this date, and the UK awarded £400 million in trade credits to Iraq ten days after condemning the massacre [3].
In the late 1970s, Iraq purchased a French nuclear reactor, dubbed Osirak or Tammuz 1. Construction began in 1979. In 1980, the reactor site suffered minor damage due to an Iranian air strike, and in 1981, before the reactor could be completed, it was destroyed by the Israeli Air Force (see Operation Opera), greatly setting back Iraq's nuclear weapons program.

This site has picture of the war in Iraq. Some are very explicit and if you’re squeamish I suggest you don’t go on it, but it has opened our eyes on what is the reality of the terror in Iraq.

after long winded discussion about what to do, we have decided that we will do a documentary that will discuss issues which we feel should be brought up to help raise awareness as it is a topical issue. We are going to look at people, who have been affected by Saddam Hussein and the consequences they have had to face. We felt this issue would be good to bring up as Saddam was recently executed and these people seem to have different points of views and we feel it would be interesting to discuss this topic.
we are working in a significantly large group of 5 consisting of the members, Hassan, Radhika Hammad , Zeeebra!! and ATHAR :)
At first there were a numerous amount of arguments about what we wanted to do, and topics such as car trailers were brought up but thankfully they were quickly dismissed! We then were set to do a documentary on cars but then we decided against it after Mr Munro disapproved of our idea. Then with some inspirational thinking from the group, we decided this documentary was the best to do.
So far we have resaerched the background history of Saddam Hussein and we have managed to get hold of videos and pictures of him and most importantly we have got the powerful video of his execution.
We are next planning on getting the videos of Saddam together and discussing which ones to use and also we want to start ti question the 3 people we want to discuss with about how Saddam has affected their lives.
Thats all from me for now !!!

zeb'z version of our brief
after a lot of discussing and going into random topics(a documentary about cars!?!?) we finally settled on a topic that looks into serious issues that affect people in the u.k. We will be looking at people who have been affected by the goings on in iraq and possibly looking at the aspect of what saddam hussein has done to their country and their people, and how they feel about it and his execution. We aim to show our target audience the reality behind the veil of iraq.
