Ahlaam (Dreams)

This remarkable debut film plunges the viewer into the madness of occupied Baghdad circa 2003. Two inmates from a mental institution suddenly find themselves out in the streets, negotiating local gangs, American soldiers, ruined buildings and falling bombs. An intense, vivid experience both on and off-screen, as the director and his crew were abducted and interrogated by both sides during the shooting of the film.

"...a remarkable achievement" Empire

A Winstone Films release.

When I saw this film on TV a year ago, I didn't know what it was (as it had already started). At first I was thinking of changing the channel, but then it drew me in. The ending, of my gosh. I cried for ages afterwards. SUCH A GOOD FILM!

Awesome video and film - makes you question why man is so inhumane to man, we need to appreciate each other
