Iraqi artist Thamer Dawood Sudani has endured many difficulties on his way to coming to America from Baghdad. With some good luck and the help of a group of extraordinarily kind people, Thamer and his family have finally been reunited in Wilmington Delaware. In this film you will meet the artist, his family, and an extraordinary community that have rallied around to welcome a new American artist.
This is the second of a three part film.

  • I loved this movie. The palimpsest quality of those ancient Sumerian letters underlying a more modern abstract approach--

    His two quotes:

    Even Nature was sad there

    and

    I hope everyone's life is colorful and bright.

    You get this sense of Iraq as just being this suicide-riddled clusterfuck of a country screwed up horribly by so many factors, not the least of which is us. But your movie shows how much artists everywhere have in common.

    Wonderful. May the Dawoods prosper in their new land!
