We're pleased to present the trailer for Mark Cousin's brilliant documentary feature "The First Movie" which opens in cinemas across the UK from 1st October 2010.

The film records his visit to Goptapa in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, which was the subject of a horrendous chemical assault in 1988, part of Saddam Hussein's genocidal assault upon the Kurds. He hands out some digital video cameras to the children and asks them to make their own films which results in some remarkable and inspiring footage, and powerfully candid stories from their mothers and grandmothers about what happened during Saddam's murderous reign.

We'd strongly recommend looking out for this film - for more information see http://thefirstmovie.net/

    If I was from Iraq I would dislike this video, its only Westerners who want to make themselves feel better by showing that we didn't fuck the WHOLE country up.

  • This made me cry, where can I see this? Just beautiful

  • wow everyones eyes are beautiful

  • @TheDarkAngel27 you are the one who insulted iraq in the first place 0.o

  • @TheCountCrumpet eh, I don't really like sharing. My ancestors could've easily been rapists, but I don't give a crap... You are quite vulgar - I suppose you enjoy spending your time on the internet hurling insults at strangers.

  • rest in peace Gertrude Bell, these children are the generations that will carry Iraqi culture on and on for as long as they can

  • @TheDarkAngel27 Oh golly gee thanks for the update sugar tits!

    Here's another fun fact: your also Australian, which means your a descendant of English criminals sent to the land of kangaroos to serve their time. Your great grandfather was probably a rapist!

    ISN'T SHARING FUN?

  • @TheCountCrumpet I am a straight teenage girl so liking guys isn't really such a bad thing....

  • Oh look at me I'm TheDarkAngel27 and I like men!

  • @TheCountCrumpet racist pig....
