We Iraqis

About This Movie

So, 'We Iraqis' is this deeply personal documentary by Abbas Fahdel. It’s like a homecoming for him after being away for a long time, and you really feel that emotional weight throughout. The tone is intimate, almost like you’re peering into someone’s diary. He captures the lives of ordinary Iraqis with a raw honesty that’s often missing in mainstream portrayals. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments to breathe. You see both the nostalgia and the difficulties of returning to a place that has changed so much. The performances—well, it’s real people sharing their stories, and that authenticity hits hard. It's distinctive in how it humanizes Iraqis beyond the headlines. Just a solid reflection on identity and belonging.
