Why did God make me look like this guy?

I am really good looking.

He's the most hated person in Iraq.

I get assassination attempt week after
week.

I went through hell.

Hell! Hell, I mean it, hell.

If I fell, I'm dead. And my family is
gone with me.

This evil guy.

He's a lunatic. I don't laugh like that.

You fucking mean!

He destroyed my life.

Enough is enough.

Shoot him!

I can't take anymore.

We like the army.

Get down!

The war is not a fun place to go.

You see the death every day.

I don't know why we was in the war.

Why we was fighting?

For what?

I was the oldest son.

Two sisters, three brothers.

And we have a nice life.

I went to my general and he said, what
did you do? Look at this letter.

The logo, the eagle.

That's me, Saddam Hussein, the
president.

He asked me to come to the palace.

I was in shock.

What did I do?

and stopped outside of Halas.

I was nervous.

This eldest son of President Saddam
Hussein entered the room.

This is Odeid Hussein.

Odeid Hussein is hated by the nation.

For his behavior, how he raping,
kidnapping, killing people.

How they say to me, Welcome.

How are you, my friend?

We look like each other.

Anybody see us, they say brothers.

Same blood.

Anybody can see it.

He look at me in a strange way and he
say, Do you know why you are here?

What do you think to be Saddam's son?

I say we are all Saddam's sons.

I mean for you to really be the son of
Saddam Hussein.

I want you to be Uday.

I want you to be my Fiday.

You be my fiday.

Fiday in Arabic language is body double,
bullet catcher.

Why the God make me look like this guy?

Oday, he's the most hated person in
Iraq.

I accept this job, I get in a bullet.

You're dead.

Do I have a choice, sir?

Yes, you do have a choice, Latte.

I say, we live in a free country.

I say, this is very nice of you, sir.

But I cannot do this job.

I'm not an actor. I don't know how I do
it.

He just went to his desk.

He can't refuse.

The cell was nearly one meter by one
meter.

No window.

Everything painted red.

I close my eyes. Still I can see the
red.

You don't hear anything outside except
screaming.

I don't know what time is it, day or
night.

I was praying, please, God, you know,
help me, take me out of here. I didn't

anything.

It was seven days of hell.

Hell, I mean it, hell, you know.

My cell opened.

And I saw others in front of me.

They said, now, are you accepting what I
give you?

Or I bring your sister here.

This means he raped my sister.

There's no choice.

I accepted.

Okay, what next?

I was just waiting for surprises.

A guy come to me and say, my name is
Mona Mohammed.

I got to be your trainer.

Everything is expensive.

silk in the top of the bed, big mirror
everywhere, TV.

Best clothes, best jewelry, best of the
best of everything.

What do you think then?

It's yours now.

I just look and I say, wow.

This is my present.

This is...

When I wake, I want to call my mom.

I miss all my family.

I know they'll be worried.

Why can't I make a phone call?

Forget your life.

From now on, you will not exist.

Your family believe you are dead in the
war and you are a martyr.

From now on, you be Uday.

Two persons come in.

They see my height, weight.

Skin color.

Two hours, they're checking everything.

From my toe to my head.

They didn't explain anything to me.

There's trouble coming.

They bring me to the dentist.

They start working. They don't talk.
Nothing.

They start drilling, cutting, drilling,
cutting.

They found the teeth was different.

His front teeth was pushed to the front.

Two days later, when I see my full face,
I just look at myself and I say, that's

not me.

When Oday come in, he laugh.

I start really be worried.

I am so gorgeous.

He's a lunatic.

I am really good looker.

I look at him, I don't know what I say
to him.

Monham say, now, today, the first day of
training.

They put the first tape, watching Odey,
how he walking, and how he

smoke, how he drink, his driving,
everything.

And they say, I want you repeat what you
see.

Show me how he move his hand.

I did it, he say, no, this way.

Show me how he smoke. I say, I don't
smoke. He say, show me how he smoke.

No, no, no, no, no. He carry the cigar
like very slow motion.

I just blow it like.

Now show me how he talk.

I am Uday. No, no, no, no, no. Not this
way.

I Uday.

No, no, no. This way.

He love to carry his gun always with
him.

He put it in his finger and he keep
doing it like the cowboys.

I keep repeating.

Over and over.

Every single day.

Three, four weeks like that.

Keep acting, you know.

When I'm saying to me, I want you to be
dressed the best suit you have here.

What's going to be next, I don't know.

We're going to meet the president.

Holy God, I'm really shocked.

Big test to be proved by the president,
Saddam Hussein.

We went to the presidential palace.

There's no noise.

I was terrified.

If I fail in the test, what's going to
happen?

Prison for life or dead.

President Saddam, he just put his head
up like that.

And here I start really be worried.

Saddam Hussein, he make you terrified.

I felt what happened.

I was shaken.

Then I say, very good.

Allah gave you two sons. You are the
third.

Thank you, sir.

He turned to me.

One thing I tell you.

Never, ever make me angry.

A week later, when I'm saved, you get on
the first job.

You get to do appeals in Iraqi football
stadium.

I said, what do I got to do there?

He given medals.

That's it.

Are they coming?

With a big iron bar.

What I'm saying?

I am a footballer. How you give me the
medals?

No, no, no, no, no. Slow motion.

Or they don't move fast like you.

I'm stressed.

Or they he was sitting and watching.

I have nerves.

I did some mistake.

I laughed.

Okay.

Why you laugh like that?

I don't laugh like that.

From two second laughing and joking.

You look and you sound like a whore! A
little pig

of a whore!

Get me a good iron bar over my body.

Don't mock me!

You laugh!

Here I saw the reality of my day.

I mock you!

I get an order to go to the football
stadium.

If I don't pass, this is what's going to
happen.

I was worried, afraid 100 % I'm going to
collapse.

When I say, this is your test, Latif,
don't fall.

If you fall the first one, forget about
the rest.

The football match is finished.

There's no question anymore.

That's it.

I turn like an actor.

This is what keeps me going.

I am an actor.

Damn, what a day.

Everyone started shouting.

A lot of people were there.

Everything is done perfectly, I hope.

About one hour later, a day coming.

If I fail, I don't cost me my life only.
My family is going with me.

I watched everything.

And I'm silent and I can't talk. I
didn't take my eyes from monitor two

I was watching you.

Great job.

Everyone is convinced.

Ha, ha, ha.

Lots of idiots. They believed it.

I passed it.

I've been a body double 11 months.

I've been ordered to go in a hotel.

to celebrate with the army the finishing
of the war.

One of the biggest hotel in Baghdad.

Go out.

Everything normal.

I took couple of step up.

My shoulder just moved.

The first bullet I get, I'm dead.

The bodyguard

starts fire.

It's like a war zone again.

They were shaken, and now this is the
first time I've been injured by a

My security, they pulled me out.

They're holding me. You okay, sir? You
okay, sir?

Come on, sir.

Do it now, sir.

Get up! Get up!

This is the first what's going to happen
next.

I don't want to die

The

picture of my

family never went out of my head

I ask how they just please let me see my
family again.

This is once in my life I say some
humanity inside him.

Only this one.

He say, half an hour.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you so much.

I want like a racket.

Thank God.

Everyone just shocked.

I know you're not dead.

My mother just crying, crying, crying,
crying. I know you're not dead.

But I know you are not dead.

I'm okay.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Thank God you are here.

Please don't tell anybody.

Because we all be dead.

In this regime, you don't go alone.

All your family is gone with you.

And half an hour went like a second.

At least my family is safe.

But if I do something wrong,

they

say, we go for holiday.

It's a beautiful place, but they start
changing, start be worse.

You see this evil guy, he don't care
about anything.

He thought this couple, they just get
married.

How dare he just give his signal to
bring her to his suite.

This is my wife!

This is my wife!

I said to her, please, would you leave
her?

She is just a mother.

This is my wife!

It's horrible.

No, no, please.

This is my wife.

This is my wife.

You follow.

No.

No, bring her back.

No.

My wife.

He raped the bride.

I was smoking. I was lighting cigarette
from the other, one from each other.

I was so angry.

The woman, she opened the window.

She threw herself from fourth floor.

This make me sick, make me angry.

As not only this girl, this happened to
her.

I start hate this guy every single day.

A man carried by two strong men of Odey
come into the office.

And the man complained, Odey, he raped
his doctor and murdered her.

You can feel the hurt in his face.

And Odey, he say, he is the scum. He
complained about me.

The man, from his anger, he spot
another.

Odey took his gun.

Then he threw the gun to me.

I said, I'm not shooting anybody.

I am ordering you to shoot him!

I don't want to kill anybody.

Enough is enough.

I took the knife.

I make it easier for you.

Straight away I cut my wrist off.

You are a maniac.

I took the gun and shot the man straight
away to the head.

I don't care anything about my life. I
want

just to finish.

This is the end.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Hey.

I called myself a coward because if
there was some human being inside

me, I'd kill this man.

I don't let him continue raping and
killing.

I feel guilty. I feel sorry. I didn't do
it.

I don't have a future.

There was a hope inside me. One day I
got to reunite with my family.

This is what kept me going.

When the bombs started falling over
Iraq, Odeh went to Switzerland, leave

to save himself.

The messenger coming, he said, tomorrow.

They put you on the TV, the location,
the border to Kuwait.

This is very dangerous.

Just a second, I'll stop.

I hear this attack.

I saw people coming from this side and
this side.

All over the place.

My security beside me.

Straight away dead.

Hit my hand, my finger.

I get in my head, I get in my shoulder.

I start losing the control.

I saw the death this time.

I say, Allah, Jesus, Mary, God, help me.

First time I feel really afraid from
death.

Saddam Hussein ordered me to come
straight away to Baghdad.

And he looked at me.

Well done.

Great job.

And he started laughing.

You know, I leave my table with my
chief.

Just so that I can come back here and be
with you, Latif.

He was doing roulette, and I'm dying for
him.

Tell me, what is the... Sir.

The doctor said to Odey, sir, I think we
got to lose his little finger.

And Odey straight away come crazy, take
his gun and put it on the head of the

doctor. If he lose his little finger,
that mean I lose my little finger.

That mean I put bullet inside your head.

You thought it out.

I want to sleep, and I never wake till
all day dead.

I'm tired of to look at this face.

I was seeing the gate, I see Baghdad.

I would love to get out of this cage,
even as a golden cage.

I was living in hell.

The life starts again to the normal for
all day.

The partying started.

The kidnapping started.

The rape started all over the place
again.

Thinking just, how get out of here?

This girl, Odey, picked her one of his
girls.

She asked me to go with her. I said, you
know our order, we don't go with Odey

girls.

She said, nobody go tonight.

I said, I'm not coming with you.

I was sleeping in my bed.

Two or four dead men coming after all
they want to.

Can I at least change first? No, we take
you where you are. Come on, man. Let's

go. Is something wrong here?

How they was in the office?

What you do with this girl?

And I said, nothing.

Well, it ain't nothing. I tell you the
truth.

And all they said? I send you to be a
little bit happy.

This word, when he use, this mean a
torture.

I went through hell.

21 days, day and night like that.

They called all day, they say, if you
don't take him out, he's dead.

He look at me like that.

I say, Now you're unhappy?

And I just look at him.

One of his men get a razor from
somewhere.

Everyone have a limit.

Now come on.

You should go to your family.

They threw me to the door like a dog.

They start crying.

With all the pain I have in my body, I
can't walk.

When I say that's it, I can't take
anymore.

I was very close to my mom.

Go.

Save your life.

Get out of here.

Get out of here.

We will all go. We must all go.

My father, he say, I am Iraqi.

I was born here.

I am dying here.

Maybe they kill you, dad.

He say to me, Allah made me in Iraq and
Allah take me in Iraq.

My little sister, she was nine.

She said to me, go, have your freedom.

Nothing going to happen.

We will be okay.

I picked that as a sign from Allah, this
angel telling me to go be safe.

My escape offer, I got to be planned.

I have a gun.

Always with me in the car.

I'm not going for a holiday.

I have to move far.

I'm ready to go.

Hello.

They called me.

They invited me.

to this party.

This is Odeh, typical Odeh.

I want to escape, but I can't say no.

It's like a big nightclub and bar.

Odeh, come on.

I saw something wrong.

He walked with an iron bar.

Anything in front of him, he hit.

He don't know what he do with himself.

I was seeing the anger on his face.

I'm coming.

He kicked me.

What's going to happen? I'll be tortured
again. Maybe I'll be shot.

It is coming.

My chance is coming.

I didn't choose it. It just came by
accident.

I heard all they screaming, Latif,
Latif, wait.

He was

clicking the button.

I can hear his voice.

Latif, Latif, Latif.

One bullet coming straight away to my
right shoulder.

I just took my gun and I start shooting
back.

They start chasing me.

Prophet Muhammad, he wake again and ask
me to stay in Iraq. I'm not staying.

I've been driving like 20 minutes.

I know I'm heading to a checkpoint.

If I pass this checkpoint, this means
I'm safe.

I just was praying.

I remember Joanne, my sister.

I said, please God, if you love this
angel, let me go through.

My freedom was through the checkpoint.

I get this idea.

Just one time, this space helped me.

I sit like Odey, how he drive in the
car.

And I put the steering in one hand.

I was sitting like Odey when I was
bleeding.

The guards look at me like that.

If this officer wasn't convinced I am
Odey Hossein, he don't let me go.

I be tortured till last minute of my
life.

How they get to sit and have a fun and
enjoyment of my torture till I die.

He recognized my face. He thought it's
Odey.

I'm gone, like a racket.

This face brings me my freedom.

My father, he paid a heavy price, and
I'm proud of him,

and I know he's in heaven.

Thank God my mom, she's safe, and
sisters and brother.

This is my story.

You're making your choice.

I'm not telling you to believe me.

I'm not telling you don't believe me.

What I went through, I don't like. Even
my enemy got through.

I was in a cage and I held and I
escaped.

There's nothing better in the world like
your freedom.

Freedom means no more Odey.

It's the best medication in the world.
