Trailer for My Country, My Country.
My Country, My Country is an extraordinarily intimate portrait of Iraqis living under U.S. occupation. The film's focus is Dr. Riyadh, an Iraqi medical doctor, father of six and Sunni political candidate. An outspoken critic of the occupation, he is equally passionate about the need to establish democracy in Iraq, arguing that Sunni participation in the January 2005 elections is essential. Unfolding like a narrative drama, the film follows the 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.
