Iraqis in Egypt (Pt 1)

www.iraqisinegypt.org

This short documentary film shows a glimpse into the lives of six Iraqi families living in exile in Cairo. They recall the disturbing events that forced them to flee their homes and discuss the challenges they are now facing in Egypt as they try to live as refugees. While all of the Iraqis featured in this film have been persecuted for different reasons, once in Egypt they find themselves facing the same struggle to survive. For now, their lives are in limbo as they wait for the help they so desperately need.

Photographed, Produced and Directed by Joshua van Praag.
