Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:20,366 --> 00:02:23,166
My brother Ibrahim
2
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:37,366
Iraqi National Museum.
3
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,333
Chocolate!
4
00:04:47,333 --> 00:04:49,133
Dollars!
5
00:04:54,866 --> 00:04:56,900
He wants tea!
6
00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:58,866
You want tea?
7
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,999
America good!
8
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,400
Tell him, "No to Saddam. Yes to Bush."
9
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,566
You have canned fish?
10
00:05:19,433 --> 00:05:21,966
- Bye!
- Good America!
11
00:05:45,033 --> 00:05:47,199
My nephew Haidar.
12
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,299
There are many airplanes!
13
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:55,000
When we got back to town,
we saw several airplanes flying low.
14
00:05:56,066 --> 00:05:59,966
You could see their shadows
on the ground.
15
00:06:02,166 --> 00:06:04,233
The gardener.
16
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,299
A few days before the war,
you told me that you wished
17
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:23,532
for the war to go to the countryside.
And finally you went there!
18
00:06:23,533 --> 00:06:25,265
We all went there.
19
00:06:25,266 --> 00:06:28,865
It was fun, but my father
remained in Baghdad.
20
00:06:28,866 --> 00:06:33,432
We were worried about him.
Mom was crying all the time.
21
00:06:33,433 --> 00:06:39,533
We watched on TV
the bombing of Baghdad.
22
00:06:40,366 --> 00:06:45,066
My mother was worried about my dad.
23
00:06:45,966 --> 00:06:49,933
The radio station where Dad was working
was bombed twice.
24
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,365
Hit City was bombed?
25
00:06:55,366 --> 00:06:58,232
Only the post office.
26
00:06:58,233 --> 00:07:00,533
Three missiles struck the building.
27
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:07,065
When the first missile exploded,
everyone started crying.
28
00:07:07,066 --> 00:07:10,032
Aunt Hadil ran behind her children.
29
00:07:10,033 --> 00:07:14,999
We took refuge in the corridor
to avoid broken glass.
30
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,199
People came out to watch
the bombed post office.
31
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:24,165
Loudspeakers of mosques
recommended to avoid the post office,
32
00:07:24,166 --> 00:07:27,166
for fear of further bombing.
33
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,299
But nobody listened.
34
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:32,332
You saw Americans in Hit?
35
00:07:32,333 --> 00:07:35,999
Not in Hit, but in Baghdad,
when we came back.
36
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,432
Some Americans are cool,
others are wicked.
37
00:07:40,433 --> 00:07:42,199
What do the wicked do?
38
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:48,033
They push kids and yell at them.
39
00:07:49,033 --> 00:07:53,033
Some are nice. They play with kids.
40
00:07:53,533 --> 00:07:57,500
While others shout at people, "Go away!"
41
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:04,799
You can answer them,
"This is my country, I go where I want."
42
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,032
They can shoot you
if you talk to them like that.
43
00:08:08,033 --> 00:08:11,532
They are free to do what they want.
44
00:08:11,533 --> 00:08:14,832
They are occupiers
and we can't oppose them.
45
00:08:14,833 --> 00:08:16,500
Our country has become like Palestine.
46
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:21,165
- You stayed here during the attack?
- No, we went to Hit.
47
00:08:21,166 --> 00:08:23,165
And you?
48
00:08:23,166 --> 00:08:26,265
- We stayed in Baghdad.
- You were not afraid?
49
00:08:26,266 --> 00:08:28,098
Nothing happened.
50
00:08:28,099 --> 00:08:29,899
You had water and electricity?
51
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:31,532
There was no electricity or water.
52
00:08:31,533 --> 00:08:33,800
What did you do for washing?
53
00:08:54,866 --> 00:08:58,033
Go ahead. I'll close the door.
54
00:09:30,333 --> 00:09:33,200
You don't take the direct route, Dad?
55
00:09:35,433 --> 00:09:37,800
My brother-in-law Madhat.
56
00:10:04,033 --> 00:10:05,833
Good-bye!
57
00:10:39,433 --> 00:10:42,466
Dad, can we drop off Haidar
before picking up my friend?
58
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,266
Uncle, look at these Americans!
This is the new Iraq.
59
00:10:52,266 --> 00:10:56,800
People say that Americans wear
special glasses to see people naked!
60
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:02,866
That is why it's recommended
to avoid them.
61
00:11:05,900 --> 00:11:11,533
The other day, an American
wanted to photograph me.
62
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,066
I refused.
63
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:17,566
He said, "Why?" I answered, "No."
64
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:23,066
I don't like to be photographed by them.
65
00:11:26,066 --> 00:11:29,133
On the left, there are the flowers
Mom told you about.
66
00:11:30,366 --> 00:11:34,100
They grow tall and are very beautiful.
67
00:11:42,166 --> 00:11:43,400
Bye!
68
00:11:58,100 --> 00:12:00,500
- Hello, sir!
- Hello!
69
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:05,333
Film me, sir!
70
00:12:09,266 --> 00:12:11,966
My friend will ride with us.
She's very shy.
71
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,133
I take them to school and then...
72
00:12:18,066 --> 00:12:22,032
my daughter's friend's father
brings them back home.
73
00:12:22,033 --> 00:12:24,500
We help each other like that.
74
00:13:48,433 --> 00:13:51,400
It'd be more practical
to put the can here.
75
00:13:53,966 --> 00:13:56,200
Put it here!
76
00:13:57,933 --> 00:14:00,266
Many people participated
in the looting, except us.
77
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:04,033
We live by selling gasoline.
78
00:14:09,866 --> 00:14:11,866
Approach your camera!
79
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,533
They repaired this bridge.
80
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:19,866
Cold Pepsi!
81
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,100
Give us two bananas.
82
00:16:04,866 --> 00:16:07,000
This bridge was entirely destroyed.
83
00:16:10,933 --> 00:16:12,433
We drive on the sidewalk.
84
00:17:43,033 --> 00:17:46,033
The looters took everything!
85
00:18:47,066 --> 00:18:52,500
This was the main Iraqi radio station.
86
00:19:14,566 --> 00:19:19,566
International conventions prohibit
the bombing of radio stations.
87
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,365
This is why we weren't worried.
88
00:19:24,366 --> 00:19:30,832
The US and its allies know
that we are civilians,
89
00:19:30,833 --> 00:19:35,133
not combatants.
90
00:19:37,066 --> 00:19:40,299
We didn't expect to be bombarded,
91
00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:44,499
because our activity
is neither military nor political.
92
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:49,065
Our activity is civil,
and there were no privileged among us.
93
00:19:49,066 --> 00:19:51,499
We were even victims of the regime.
94
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:55,799
Our monthly salary
doesn't cover a week's needs!
95
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,000
Despite this, bombs targeted us!
96
00:20:04,033 --> 00:20:08,033
The Coalition forces
deserve a lot of blame.
97
00:20:24,033 --> 00:20:28,033
My brother-in-law worked
in this station for thirty years.
98
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:13,933
Let's get out of here!
99
00:21:56,466 --> 00:22:00,065
- The door next to your uncle is closed?
- Yes.
100
00:22:00,066 --> 00:22:02,533
- Ammar, check it.
- I did.
101
00:22:03,333 --> 00:22:06,066
I accompany Manar and Ammar
to their university.
102
00:22:07,066 --> 00:22:09,932
They're preparing the final exams.
103
00:22:09,933 --> 00:22:13,900
I accompany them because of insecurity.
104
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,533
My niece Manar.
105
00:22:37,966 --> 00:22:40,200
- Faculty of Technology.
- Drop us off here.
106
00:22:42,933 --> 00:22:44,200
Bye!
107
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,400
- Good-bye, Uncle!
- Bye!
108
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,533
Good-bye!
109
00:23:40,333 --> 00:23:42,399
Notice to female students:
110
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,365
For your safety, we offer to escort you
with 12 tanks, one Apache helicopter
111
00:23:47,366 --> 00:23:52,033
and one F-16 Fighting Falcon equipped
with weapons of mass destruction.
112
00:24:02,966 --> 00:24:05,133
You always lose your files!
113
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,166
I don't know where I put it!
114
00:24:09,333 --> 00:24:12,033
Calm down! Your uncle is filming you.
115
00:24:25,966 --> 00:24:29,266
If you don't find the file at home,
I'll make a copy for you.
116
00:24:51,266 --> 00:24:55,332
The IT department regrets the death
of the student Mayada Aïd.
117
00:24:55,333 --> 00:24:57,200
May her soul rest in peace.
118
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:25,033
The Tigris River.
119
00:25:39,033 --> 00:25:43,365
According to the US military
command spokesman, a soldier was killed
120
00:25:43,366 --> 00:25:47,200
and four others were wounded
in an attack this morning.
121
00:25:51,100 --> 00:25:55,499
Thus the number of US soldiers
killed in Iraq reaches 30,
122
00:25:55,500 --> 00:26:01,166
since the US President announced
the end of military operations in Iraq.
123
00:26:43,366 --> 00:26:47,199
This is my third trip today!
124
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:52,332
I first accompanied
Kanar and Haidar to school,
125
00:26:52,333 --> 00:26:55,066
and then Manar and Ammar
to their university...
126
00:26:55,900 --> 00:26:59,900
And now I'm accompanying
Ishtar to her workplace.
127
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,233
There's no more shuttle service
to take me to work.
128
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,500
I must ask my father
or my brother to accompany me.
129
00:27:10,133 --> 00:27:12,200
Even taxis aren't safe.
130
00:27:14,133 --> 00:27:16,200
I have a knife in my bag.
131
00:27:25,533 --> 00:27:27,366
Look, Uncle! Looters!
132
00:27:28,833 --> 00:27:30,466
They're glad to be filmed!
133
00:27:31,466 --> 00:27:33,866
They said to Uncle, "Film us!"
134
00:28:52,933 --> 00:28:56,933
The new Iraq! Americans everywhere!
135
00:28:59,166 --> 00:29:02,166
They've set up roadblocks everywhere.
136
00:29:04,166 --> 00:29:06,832
They cause traffic jams...
137
00:29:06,833 --> 00:29:09,166
My brother Ibrahim.
138
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,200
There were more in the morning.
139
00:30:01,833 --> 00:30:03,333
An American camp!
140
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,333
It's surrounded by barbed wire.
141
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:12,466
Uncle! What is this place?
142
00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:28,299
Here is Itefiya district 1.
143
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:30,299
And Itefiya 2?
144
00:30:30,300 --> 00:30:32,333
After the bridge.
145
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:37,032
We have to cross the bridge?
146
00:30:37,033 --> 00:30:38,433
No.
147
00:30:41,433 --> 00:30:42,366
Thanks!
148
00:30:56,100 --> 00:30:57,866
This is one of the victims!
149
00:31:02,433 --> 00:31:05,999
- Which one is your house?
- The one near the corner.
150
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,033
- The one under the palm tree?
- Yes.
151
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,366
- You were inside when it happened?
- Yes.
152
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:17,200
The house collapsed
and everything burned.
153
00:31:18,066 --> 00:31:20,066
Even my identity documents burned.
154
00:31:20,533 --> 00:31:22,099
Where do you live now?
155
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:24,866
In a van, without water or electricity.
156
00:31:25,333 --> 00:31:27,099
Our situation is unbearable.
157
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:29,166
I have a paper signed by the Americans.
158
00:31:29,533 --> 00:31:32,466
An American officer signed it.
159
00:31:37,566 --> 00:31:40,532
This paper confirms the loss
of all your identity documents!
160
00:31:40,533 --> 00:31:43,966
Yes, identity card,
passport, ration card...
161
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,533
- How many houses were destroyed?
- All the surrounding houses.
162
00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:54,366
Our cars were also destroyed.
163
00:32:01,533 --> 00:32:03,432
The houses are entirely destroyed inside.
164
00:32:03,433 --> 00:32:05,166
The exterior wall was here?
165
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:08,966
From here to there.
166
00:32:11,466 --> 00:32:12,899
The kitchen.
167
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:15,199
The bathroom. The rooms.
168
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,199
Furniture, jewelry, documents.
Everything burned.
169
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:24,465
Why doesn't Bush give orders
to compensate these families?
170
00:32:24,466 --> 00:32:28,199
- They live in the streets, with nothing.
- You think Bush cares about you?
171
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,200
Why not? He only cares about Americans?
172
00:32:31,966 --> 00:32:35,066
- What did he expect when he came here?
- What happened here exactly?
173
00:32:35,566 --> 00:32:37,832
The war was over.
174
00:32:37,833 --> 00:32:39,199
Baghdad was already occupied
175
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,232
when the Americans blew up
the ammunition here.
176
00:32:41,233 --> 00:32:44,032
They didn't care about innocent families!
177
00:32:44,033 --> 00:32:46,899
Baghdad was occupied for a week.
178
00:32:46,900 --> 00:32:49,999
People were friendly with the Americans.
Despite that,
179
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,532
they blew up ammunition here!
180
00:32:51,533 --> 00:32:55,232
We told them, "You'll destroy our houses!"
They replied, "Too bad for you!"
181
00:32:55,233 --> 00:32:59,233
Disaster victims now live in the gardens.
182
00:33:00,300 --> 00:33:03,133
- Under the sun!
- It'll be worst in winter.
183
00:33:04,966 --> 00:33:08,165
We live in a van. In winter we'll be
exposed to cold and rain.
184
00:33:08,166 --> 00:33:10,900
I swear if I see an American,
I'll kill him.
185
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:18,265
The explosion burned this child.
186
00:33:18,266 --> 00:33:19,533
Look at his leg!
187
00:33:22,533 --> 00:33:24,100
Look at his arm!
188
00:33:31,133 --> 00:33:33,932
Nobody's interested in his case.
189
00:33:33,933 --> 00:33:35,233
Look at his back!
190
00:33:37,233 --> 00:33:38,300
He lives there.
191
00:33:42,066 --> 00:33:44,500
What crime did he commit?
Did he fight the Americans?
192
00:33:48,866 --> 00:33:52,132
Even trees weren't spared
from destruction.
193
00:33:52,133 --> 00:33:56,265
These trees were protecting
our houses from the sun.
194
00:33:56,266 --> 00:34:00,200
Our district is known for its gardens.
195
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,799
It turns green because we watered it.
196
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,265
We're trying to give new life
to our gardens.
197
00:34:11,266 --> 00:34:17,066
It was all black and burned,
like the child that you just saw.
198
00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:26,366
Even nature wasn't spared
from destruction!
199
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,399
We blame the Iraqis
more than the Americans.
200
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:45,133
There are fifteen Iraqi political parties,
some of whom lived in exile.
201
00:34:47,933 --> 00:34:53,799
No Iraqi politician
is interested in our situation.
202
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,266
We only want our rights.
203
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,032
You saw how our neighbors
have become homeless!
204
00:35:03,033 --> 00:35:09,333
And you can see how dangerous
it is to continue to live here!
205
00:35:10,866 --> 00:35:14,033
This roof may collapse anytime.
206
00:35:15,133 --> 00:35:18,399
They ask us to collaborate
with them like civilized people.
207
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:24,566
How to act in a civilized manner
when you live in a situation like ours!
208
00:35:25,166 --> 00:35:27,333
I don't understand
their notion of civilization!
209
00:35:28,233 --> 00:35:33,399
If their concept of civilization
involves submission,
210
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:38,366
Iraqis don't like to be submissive.
211
00:36:24,933 --> 00:36:26,266
Why do you unpack it?
212
00:36:41,966 --> 00:36:47,265
We bought this weapon after the war.
213
00:36:47,266 --> 00:36:51,433
The situation has deteriorated.
There are many bandits.
214
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:56,800
Without police, people are forced
to buy weapons to protect themselves.
215
00:36:58,466 --> 00:37:01,833
There are no police to catch thieves.
216
00:37:03,466 --> 00:37:06,999
Before the war, Saddam released
all the criminals who were in prison.
217
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Even those who were sentenced to death.
218
00:37:09,833 --> 00:37:12,200
This increased the chaos.
219
00:37:13,300 --> 00:37:17,165
One of my friends went to report
the murder of his father to the police.
220
00:37:17,166 --> 00:37:20,432
The policemen told him
they can do nothing.
221
00:37:20,433 --> 00:37:23,166
This situation forces people
to procure arms...
222
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,500
to protect themselves.
223
00:37:27,266 --> 00:37:31,533
There are very dangerous gangs.
224
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,800
They steal cars, kidnap girls...
225
00:37:36,933 --> 00:37:39,499
One magazine is not enough.
226
00:37:39,500 --> 00:37:42,333
If a gang enters our house,
227
00:37:43,166 --> 00:37:48,533
The magazine would be emptied
in a minute.
228
00:37:51,233 --> 00:37:54,833
We must always check
that there's no bullet in the gun.
229
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:01,900
The electricity's back!
230
00:38:04,033 --> 00:38:08,800
As my arms aren't strong enough,
I use my foot.
231
00:38:21,366 --> 00:38:22,866
Give me the magazine!
232
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,100
Enough, Haidar!
Don't touch the safety catch!
233
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,466
You're going to Uncle's house?
234
00:38:36,833 --> 00:38:39,100
You must hold it this way.
235
00:38:41,133 --> 00:38:42,900
Like this.
236
00:38:44,333 --> 00:38:46,799
It shakes when you shoot.
237
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,832
Be careful! It may be loaded.
238
00:38:48,833 --> 00:38:50,300
We checked it a thousand times.
239
00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:10,199
Satellite antennas
were banned under Saddam.
240
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,233
Now everyone has one or two.
241
00:39:14,100 --> 00:39:17,065
We're connected to 4 satellites.
242
00:39:17,066 --> 00:39:20,866
Two Arab satellites,
and two European ones.
243
00:40:29,066 --> 00:40:31,133
Where did you go during the war?
244
00:40:32,533 --> 00:40:33,966
To Hit City.
245
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,832
I came back with my uncle and my sister.
246
00:40:37,833 --> 00:40:41,265
There were two sandstorms
during the war.
247
00:40:41,266 --> 00:40:45,566
The house was very dirty.
I came back to clean it up with my sister.
248
00:40:47,333 --> 00:40:49,499
At first we were sad.
249
00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:53,400
Then we just accepted
the reality of the occupation.
250
00:40:53,966 --> 00:40:58,333
They liberated us from Saddam,
but they occupy our country.
251
00:40:58,866 --> 00:41:03,232
When my friend's grandmother died,
as they were going to bury her,
252
00:41:03,233 --> 00:41:07,099
Americans arrived
and started shooting at cars.
253
00:41:07,100 --> 00:41:11,199
A helicopter also arrived and someone
ordered them to get out of their car.
254
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,099
As they tried to leave the car
with the coffin, they were hit by gunfire.
255
00:41:15,100 --> 00:41:19,500
My friend's uncle lost four fingers.
256
00:41:22,466 --> 00:41:27,832
Americans distributed leaflets to order
people not to go out of their homes.
257
00:41:27,833 --> 00:41:30,332
They said they would shoot
anyone going outside.
258
00:41:30,333 --> 00:41:33,500
Many people died
because they weren't aware.
259
00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:40,299
My birthday coincided with the war.
260
00:41:40,300 --> 00:41:43,799
My cousins' birthday too.
261
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,199
- You celebrated it?
- Yes. The same day.
262
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,232
My birthday coincides
with that of the Baath Party.
263
00:41:50,233 --> 00:41:53,799
Every year, we celebrated my birthday
264
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,799
at the same time
as the Party celebrations.
265
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,932
Adults scolded us, saying,
266
00:42:00,933 --> 00:42:05,965
"You're not ashamed to celebrate
while Iraqis die everywhere?"
267
00:42:05,966 --> 00:42:10,799
Therefore we canceled the birthday party.
268
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,133
We just shared the cake.
269
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,999
We saw the bombing of Baghdad on TV.
270
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,266
The day of my cousin's birthday,
Baghdad fell.
271
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,299
What did you feel
when you saw Baghdad falling?
272
00:42:29,300 --> 00:42:31,899
I couldn't believe my eyes!
273
00:42:31,900 --> 00:42:34,932
A man was hitting the portrait
of Saddam with his shoe!
274
00:42:34,933 --> 00:42:38,099
Daring to do that!
275
00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:43,399
It was unbelievable.
276
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,999
The man said he had lost four
of his sons because of Saddam.
277
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,833
It was hard to believe, but we were happy.
278
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:58,299
In each of our school books,
there was a portrait of Saddam.
279
00:42:58,300 --> 00:43:01,799
My cousin opened his book
and tore up the portrait of Saddam.
280
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:07,533
Shortly before, Iraqi pupils were asked
to send birthday cards to Saddam.
281
00:43:08,300 --> 00:43:11,799
- His birthday is...
- April 28.
282
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,900
All Iraqi pupils were required
to send him greeting cards.
283
00:43:17,900 --> 00:43:21,432
All pupils had to write to him.
284
00:43:21,433 --> 00:43:25,232
My cousin said,
"See how Iraqis are hypocrites!"
285
00:43:25,233 --> 00:43:28,265
Two days ago,
they were preparing greeting cards
286
00:43:28,266 --> 00:43:30,366
and now they spit on his portrait!
287
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,365
- Did you use the diapers?
- No!
288
00:43:37,366 --> 00:43:40,166
There was no chemical bombing.
289
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:46,200
Diapers were a joke.
Someone made fun of us.
290
00:43:47,933 --> 00:43:51,499
Before the war, you were afraid
of aircraft sounds,
291
00:43:51,500 --> 00:43:53,899
and now the airplanes fly day and night!
292
00:43:53,900 --> 00:44:00,899
I saw planes for the first time
when we came back to Baghdad.
293
00:44:00,900 --> 00:44:03,400
They were flying very low.
294
00:44:05,066 --> 00:44:06,800
A gunshot!
295
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:15,065
We're advised not to go out
because of kidnappings!
296
00:44:15,066 --> 00:44:20,365
While my brother Ammar
has the right to go out and have fun!
297
00:44:20,366 --> 00:44:23,265
And when he comes home, he says,
"You're safe here.
298
00:44:23,266 --> 00:44:25,533
Outside you may be kidnapped!"
299
00:44:27,533 --> 00:44:31,099
You stay at home and you do nothing!
300
00:44:31,100 --> 00:44:36,532
And when Mom asks you to do something,
you say yes, but you do nothing.
301
00:44:36,533 --> 00:44:39,866
Only Ithar and Mom
take care of the house!
302
00:44:42,333 --> 00:44:44,865
Ammar, when are your exams?
303
00:44:44,866 --> 00:44:47,532
- The day after tomorrow.
- And when they will end?
304
00:44:47,533 --> 00:44:49,100
July 19th.
305
00:44:50,333 --> 00:44:53,099
You expect to go outside
when I will finish my exams!
306
00:44:53,100 --> 00:44:57,032
Why not? So you only
have the right to go outside?
307
00:44:57,033 --> 00:44:58,832
It's dangerous to go outside.
308
00:44:58,833 --> 00:45:03,799
You see, Uncle! He goes out to have fun
but he wants us to stay home!
309
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,800
- You think I have fun outside?
- Why not?
310
00:45:07,533 --> 00:45:10,200
There isn't even a pool!
311
00:45:11,966 --> 00:45:15,199
You go have fun outside
and you complain!
312
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,533
What would you say
if you stayed at home?
313
00:45:22,166 --> 00:45:25,066
Is it true that your teachers
have been threatened?
314
00:45:26,333 --> 00:45:31,366
Yes. In some faculties students
have threatened their teachers.
315
00:45:32,533 --> 00:45:38,866
The Vice-Chancellor of the Faculty
of Science was murdered in his office.
316
00:45:42,566 --> 00:45:44,499
It's a legacy of Saddam!
317
00:45:44,500 --> 00:45:47,965
Someone said on the radio
318
00:45:47,966 --> 00:45:52,232
that all this is Saddam's legacy.
319
00:45:52,233 --> 00:45:56,332
He invaded Kuwait
and encouraged looting.
320
00:45:56,333 --> 00:46:01,232
Yet Iraqis are not looters!
Iraqis don't behave like that.
321
00:46:01,233 --> 00:46:03,332
It is Saddam's fault.
322
00:46:03,333 --> 00:46:05,965
He deprived people of everything.
323
00:46:05,966 --> 00:46:11,433
Baghdad didn't fall in two days
because Iraqis are afraid to fight.
324
00:46:12,133 --> 00:46:15,366
If people were attached to Saddam,
Baghdad wouldn't have fallen.
325
00:46:29,166 --> 00:46:31,100
We've arrived!
326
00:46:34,133 --> 00:46:36,333
You can pick me up at 1:00 p.m.
327
00:46:37,333 --> 00:46:40,432
Tell your uncle where he can pick you up.
328
00:46:40,433 --> 00:46:44,065
He will come around 12:30.
Where can he find you?
329
00:46:44,066 --> 00:46:46,200
In front of the faculty.
330
00:48:10,966 --> 00:48:14,366
Zionists, we will defeat you!
331
00:48:18,900 --> 00:48:21,166
These protesters aren't afraid.
332
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:24,832
They are heroes.
333
00:48:24,833 --> 00:48:27,300
You speak on behalf of whom?
334
00:48:28,233 --> 00:48:31,899
- I'm worried about them.
- Worry about yourself.
335
00:48:31,900 --> 00:48:35,200
- Why?
- You don't know what will happen to you!
336
00:48:37,333 --> 00:48:41,966
- You aren't dedicated to any cause.
- He is certainly a Baathist.
337
00:48:46,333 --> 00:48:48,799
He says that the Americans will shoot us!
338
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:49,566
By what right?
339
00:49:45,066 --> 00:49:50,499
This demonstration expresses
the opinion of the people.
340
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:55,399
We want a government
elected by the people.
341
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,132
We demand freedom for Iraqis.
342
00:49:58,133 --> 00:50:00,800
And liberty for our country.
343
00:50:01,266 --> 00:50:06,499
We are also demonstrating
against the abuses of Coalition forces,
344
00:50:06,500 --> 00:50:09,232
who practice arbitrary arrests,
345
00:50:09,233 --> 00:50:10,999
particularly against
religious dignitaries.
346
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:15,199
The Iraqi people cannot tolerate this!
347
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,465
We want to avoid a bloodbath.
348
00:50:17,466 --> 00:50:20,132
Residence of the American Governor
349
00:50:20,133 --> 00:50:25,932
Americans must change
their behavior with Iraqis.
350
00:50:25,933 --> 00:50:28,266
Otherwise the situation will end badly.
351
00:50:51,566 --> 00:50:54,232
Americans haven't brought anything good.
352
00:50:54,233 --> 00:50:58,565
They occupy our country as in Palestine,
353
00:50:58,566 --> 00:51:02,233
and they'll provoke a civil war
like in Lebanon.
354
00:51:02,866 --> 00:51:05,999
All ministries were looted,
except that of oil!
355
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,165
I know!
356
00:51:07,166 --> 00:51:10,065
These protesters
are ready to die for Iraq.
357
00:51:10,066 --> 00:51:15,099
They protest peacefully,
without firing a single bullet.
358
00:51:15,100 --> 00:51:19,132
But they will not hesitate to fight,
as they fought Saddam.
359
00:51:19,133 --> 00:51:22,432
We don't want any political party,
neither religious nor communist.
360
00:51:22,433 --> 00:51:26,266
They were all members of the Baath party.
361
00:51:29,033 --> 00:51:30,932
Don't condemn all parties!
362
00:51:30,933 --> 00:51:34,200
Some were buried underground
by Saddam.
363
00:51:36,900 --> 00:51:41,365
No party can govern us today
without the control of the Americans.
364
00:51:41,366 --> 00:51:43,532
And we don't want that.
365
00:51:43,533 --> 00:51:48,132
We don't want Americans!
The US must leave Iraq.
366
00:51:48,133 --> 00:51:52,966
- We don't want Americans in our country!
- Bravo, my brethren, you're real men!
367
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,800
Ministry of Information.
368
00:52:26,966 --> 00:52:29,166
Film us, my brother!
369
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,366
You are filming us?
370
00:53:01,966 --> 00:53:03,332
In front...
371
00:53:03,333 --> 00:53:06,033
Sami Kaftan, actor.
372
00:53:07,100 --> 00:53:09,832
The Ministry of Information.
373
00:53:09,833 --> 00:53:13,300
The cars there
were already out of commission.
374
00:53:13,866 --> 00:53:17,832
As you can see, flames overran all floors.
375
00:53:17,833 --> 00:53:24,300
Fire inside even blackened the exterior.
376
00:53:25,133 --> 00:53:29,465
Imagine the interior of the building!
It's completely burned.
377
00:53:29,466 --> 00:53:32,499
There are floors where I never went.
378
00:53:32,500 --> 00:53:35,233
Looters have managed to set it on fire.
379
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:42,066
They destroyed equipment
that would have been very useful to us.
380
00:53:54,266 --> 00:53:57,133
In front...
381
00:53:58,066 --> 00:54:02,233
The Office of Cinema and Theater.
382
00:54:04,866 --> 00:54:07,200
The building was burned.
383
00:54:08,933 --> 00:54:13,333
Like many official buildings.
384
00:54:14,300 --> 00:54:18,466
The office was burned because it's linked
to the Ministry of Information.
385
00:54:19,466 --> 00:54:24,833
Look what the flames did!
386
00:54:26,533 --> 00:54:31,266
Imagine the force of the flames
that melted the steel plates!
387
00:54:37,300 --> 00:54:39,833
This is the outside.
Imagine how it is inside!
388
00:54:53,933 --> 00:54:54,966
The studios...
389
00:54:55,900 --> 00:54:57,900
of Baghdad.
390
00:55:02,166 --> 00:55:04,000
Let's have a look inside!
391
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,132
This hole wasn't made
by an American bullet.
392
00:55:29,133 --> 00:55:32,166
We used this hat in a movie...
393
00:55:33,066 --> 00:55:34,832
about the 1920 revolt.
394
00:55:34,833 --> 00:55:39,332
I played one of the main characters.
395
00:55:39,333 --> 00:55:43,299
- Sahib Haddad directed the film.
- No, Mohamed Shukri Jameel.
396
00:55:43,300 --> 00:55:45,099
The title is The Great Question.
397
00:55:45,100 --> 00:55:47,799
I played the character
of patriot Sulayman,
398
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,065
who killed Lieutenant Colonel Leachman
399
00:55:51,066 --> 00:55:53,100
during the occupation of Iraq
by the British.
400
00:55:54,100 --> 00:55:57,966
We had hundreds of them.
401
00:55:58,500 --> 00:55:59,565
All burned!
402
00:55:59,566 --> 00:56:03,000
Look at all those spotlights!
403
00:56:05,966 --> 00:56:07,432
All those spotlights!
404
00:56:07,433 --> 00:56:10,266
We used these spotlights during filming.
405
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:15,899
Arab countries were dreaming
of having such equipment!
406
00:56:15,900 --> 00:56:16,900
And we had it!
407
00:56:17,833 --> 00:56:18,933
Look!
408
00:56:23,533 --> 00:56:25,100
Tripods.
409
00:56:26,133 --> 00:56:28,100
Glued to the ground!
410
00:56:31,466 --> 00:56:34,266
It's covered with dust.
411
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,200
It works like that.
412
00:56:52,133 --> 00:56:54,999
Many directors sat here.
413
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:59,266
They sat here
to work on the editing of their films.
414
00:57:00,333 --> 00:57:01,833
It became...
415
00:57:06,966 --> 00:57:08,433
How can I say?
416
00:57:19,966 --> 00:57:23,433
It looks like a war movie.
Shot in the desert.
417
00:57:26,166 --> 00:57:29,866
I think this movie is The Bird of the Sun.
418
00:57:31,266 --> 00:57:35,332
We might watch the film
if we had a movie projector.
419
00:57:35,333 --> 00:57:36,433
Alas!
420
00:57:37,033 --> 00:57:38,200
Alas!
421
00:57:42,133 --> 00:57:43,166
Alas!
422
00:57:46,033 --> 00:57:47,066
Alas!
423
00:58:04,333 --> 00:58:08,399
Is this Iraqi cinema?
424
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,499
Is this our heritage?
425
00:58:10,500 --> 00:58:15,966
Those who have destroyed these archives,
they might need it someday.
426
00:58:16,466 --> 00:58:22,466
One can take revenge on a regime,
but why take revenge on culture?
427
00:58:23,533 --> 00:58:25,000
Why?
428
00:58:26,066 --> 00:58:29,165
These archives could serve us
and serve future generations!
429
00:58:29,166 --> 00:58:35,832
These films may contain evidence
of crimes committed against our people,
430
00:58:35,833 --> 00:58:37,833
so why destroy evidence?
431
00:58:38,266 --> 00:58:39,533
They can serve as documents.
432
00:59:00,433 --> 00:59:07,232
Here are conserved documentary films.
433
00:59:07,233 --> 00:59:09,433
If I take one...
434
00:59:11,833 --> 00:59:14,500
This film is about
the company Iraqi Airways.
435
00:59:19,166 --> 00:59:22,933
When was it made?
I can't see without my glasses.
436
00:59:26,233 --> 00:59:29,033
Thank God, it is intact.
437
00:59:38,266 --> 00:59:41,200
This one is burned!
438
00:59:49,133 --> 00:59:51,032
This warehouse
439
00:59:51,033 --> 00:59:56,932
was full of clothes and accessories,
440
00:59:56,933 --> 00:59:59,332
that we were using in film and theater.
441
00:59:59,333 --> 01:00:03,933
You can see the coat racks
and cabinets of accessories.
442
01:00:04,466 --> 01:00:09,166
Directors could find here
everything they needed.
443
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:21,099
Many Iraqi and Arab artists
sat in these chairs.
444
01:00:21,100 --> 01:00:23,799
And now everything is destroyed!
445
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,399
The chairs seem to ask us,
446
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,899
"Where are the spectators?
447
01:00:30,900 --> 01:00:33,432
Where are the films
that were projected here?"
448
01:00:33,433 --> 01:00:36,799
If these chairs could talk,
449
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,265
they would tell us the history of cinema,
450
01:00:39,266 --> 01:00:41,365
better than I could myself.
451
01:00:41,366 --> 01:00:43,833
But... Alas! Alas!
452
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,465
This corridor,
453
01:00:58,466 --> 01:01:01,799
I used to come here
dozens of times a day.
454
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,332
Passing back and forth
455
01:01:03,333 --> 01:01:06,199
to discuss our film projects,
456
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:10,365
to discuss with a director in his office,
457
01:01:10,366 --> 01:01:13,032
or to enter the studio here
458
01:01:13,033 --> 01:01:15,099
to record the sound of a movie,
459
01:01:15,100 --> 01:01:18,233
or enter here to chat
with an assistant director.
460
01:01:18,933 --> 01:01:23,799
But I never expected to see this place
plunged into such darkness!
461
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:28,532
The task of the artist
is to light the way.
462
01:01:28,533 --> 01:01:35,466
But alas, some have succeeded to plunge
this place of light into darkness.
463
01:01:38,333 --> 01:01:42,499
But I hope the darkness won't last,
464
01:01:42,500 --> 01:01:45,032
and that Iraqi cinema
will come back to life,
465
01:01:45,033 --> 01:01:48,033
as well as everything
that has been destroyed.
466
01:01:48,900 --> 01:01:51,266
We will make new films.
467
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,833
Beautiful films that will please everyone.
468
01:01:59,033 --> 01:02:01,133
Welcome to Al-Jazeera!
469
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:05,032
The commission charged
by Congress to investigate
470
01:02:05,033 --> 01:02:09,365
the September 11 attacks
has just revealed its report.
471
01:02:09,366 --> 01:02:15,100
The report points to the lack
of foresight by the CIA and the FBI...
472
01:02:20,233 --> 01:02:25,199
According to the President of
the Security Council of the US Senate,
473
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:28,132
the attacks could have been foiled
474
01:02:28,133 --> 01:02:33,300
if the security services
had been more aware.
475
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:36,932
These are the two towers
476
01:02:36,933 --> 01:02:40,932
whose collapse caused the disintegration
of many universal values.
477
01:02:40,933 --> 01:02:45,833
110 floors transformed
into a pile of ruins.
478
01:02:51,033 --> 01:02:54,232
This event caused controversies
479
01:02:54,233 --> 01:03:00,032
and was used to justify
US military actions,
480
01:03:00,033 --> 01:03:03,265
presented as war against terrorism.
481
01:03:03,266 --> 01:03:08,265
It was in this context that President Bush
pronounced his famous statement,
482
01:03:08,266 --> 01:03:12,499
"Whoever doesn't support our war
against terrorism, becomes our enemy."
483
01:03:12,500 --> 01:03:19,032
And while US public opinion believes
that the attacks could have been avoided
484
01:03:19,033 --> 01:03:24,233
if the security services
had more foresight,
485
01:03:24,900 --> 01:03:29,932
The US government gave itself the right
to pursue anyone who threatens.
486
01:03:29,933 --> 01:03:35,333
US security and interests,
whoever he is and wherever he may be.
487
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:40,065
However, it's still necessary
to define "terrorism,"
488
01:03:40,066 --> 01:03:44,800
and whether it applies
to the events of September 11th.
489
01:03:51,033 --> 01:03:52,200
Haidar!
490
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:01,500
Wake up, Haidar!
491
01:04:04,333 --> 01:04:05,965
Haidar! Wake up!
492
01:04:05,966 --> 01:04:07,300
It's seven o'clock!
493
01:04:08,933 --> 01:04:10,400
Why did you sleep here?
494
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,132
It's too hot inside the house
495
01:04:13,133 --> 01:04:15,965
and on the terrace
there is the noise of helicopters.
496
01:04:15,966 --> 01:04:17,800
Wake up! It's seven o'clock.
497
01:05:47,366 --> 01:05:50,066
City of Hit.
498
01:06:01,466 --> 01:06:04,166
My brother-in-law Abu Widian.
499
01:06:15,166 --> 01:06:17,065
This was the house of the prefect.
500
01:06:17,066 --> 01:06:24,000
It was dynamited because
the prefect has rallied Americans.
501
01:06:25,300 --> 01:06:27,866
The rest was demolished later.
502
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,232
Do you remember
when the post office was bombed?
503
01:06:33,233 --> 01:06:37,066
We were watching
the bombing of Baghdad on TV.
504
01:06:37,433 --> 01:06:41,366
My sister and my aunt
were crying and reciting the Koran.
505
01:06:42,133 --> 01:06:45,965
When we heard the first explosion,
we all took shelter in the corridor.
506
01:06:45,966 --> 01:06:49,200
The next day, we found
a hole filled with water.
507
01:06:49,533 --> 01:06:52,199
They launched three missiles
508
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:53,899
on the post office.
509
01:06:53,900 --> 01:06:55,366
Look at the ruins!
510
01:06:57,366 --> 01:06:59,833
They said the third missile
didn't explode.
511
01:07:00,500 --> 01:07:02,980
In order to discourage people
from approaching the post office.
512
01:07:08,466 --> 01:07:11,433
Cemetery.
513
01:07:36,833 --> 01:07:40,000
Life in Iraq was better before oil.
514
01:07:42,300 --> 01:07:44,533
Oil became a curse.
515
01:07:52,366 --> 01:07:54,266
You know how Baghdad fell?
516
01:07:55,366 --> 01:08:00,166
Basra resisted 17 days before falling.
517
01:08:00,966 --> 01:08:06,499
Baghdad fell because
of Saddam's treachery.
518
01:08:06,500 --> 01:08:08,232
He was betrayed.
519
01:08:08,233 --> 01:08:11,999
No, it's he who has betrayed the people.
520
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,065
Baghdad didn't resist a single day!
521
01:08:15,066 --> 01:08:18,066
Americans entered without
encountering any resistance.
522
01:08:19,100 --> 01:08:22,198
Yet a provincial town
has resisted 17 days!
523
01:08:22,199 --> 01:08:27,800
There were fighters in Baghdad.
524
01:08:28,466 --> 01:08:32,265
When the regime fell,
the fighting stopped.
525
01:08:32,266 --> 01:08:33,865
It didn't happen like that.
526
01:08:33,866 --> 01:08:38,532
Saddam told the fighters to put on
their civilian clothes and go home.
527
01:08:38,533 --> 01:08:40,532
Many of them died.
528
01:08:40,533 --> 01:08:46,465
Saddam fled Baghdad
before the Americans arrived.
529
01:08:46,466 --> 01:08:48,965
If he had stayed,
Baghdad wouldn't have fallen.
530
01:08:48,966 --> 01:08:50,965
There would still be fighting.
531
01:08:50,966 --> 01:08:52,466
But he left Baghdad and fled.
532
01:08:53,100 --> 01:08:55,132
He should commit a suicide attack.
533
01:08:55,133 --> 01:08:58,199
Yes, die while committing
a suicide attack.
534
01:08:59,500 --> 01:09:02,333
- People no longer want him.
- He won't come back.
535
01:10:57,233 --> 01:10:58,800
Stand back!
536
01:11:08,433 --> 01:11:10,865
You heard the sound, Uncle!
537
01:11:10,866 --> 01:11:12,366
It will attract Americans!
538
01:11:15,300 --> 01:11:17,033
- Shall I shoot?
- No!
539
01:11:17,833 --> 01:11:20,300
- Why?
- It can explode in your face!
540
01:11:22,966 --> 01:11:24,233
No, Haidar!
541
01:11:24,900 --> 01:11:26,465
He may get burnt.
542
01:11:26,466 --> 01:11:27,500
Stop panicking!
543
01:12:19,433 --> 01:12:20,866
Stop, Haidar!
544
01:12:22,500 --> 01:12:24,165
My tower, Haidar!
545
01:12:24,166 --> 01:12:26,100
The Eiffel Tower!
546
01:12:44,433 --> 01:12:50,233
For over thirty years,
Iraqis lived in a state of schizophrenia.
547
01:12:51,433 --> 01:12:53,533
At all levels.
548
01:12:54,300 --> 01:12:57,133
Engineers, doctors, teachers...
549
01:13:01,466 --> 01:13:07,232
Journalists, writers, historians...
they all lived as schizophrenics.
550
01:13:07,233 --> 01:13:11,799
Saying one thing in front of Saddam
and the opposite behind his back!
551
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,132
One discourse at home,
and another outside.
552
01:13:14,133 --> 01:13:18,899
Because if someone dared to say
a part of the truth about the regime,
553
01:13:18,900 --> 01:13:25,166
he ran the risk of disappearing forever.
554
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:29,000
In Iraq,
because of oppression and censorship...
555
01:13:30,100 --> 01:13:34,833
we have become schizophrenic.
556
01:13:51,933 --> 01:13:53,100
Don't stop!
557
01:14:13,966 --> 01:14:16,132
This building dates from when?
558
01:14:16,133 --> 01:14:19,032
It's hundreds of years old.
559
01:14:19,033 --> 01:14:23,233
They also looted and burned down
the Bank of Credit.
560
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:28,500
Why destroy a public property?
561
01:14:30,833 --> 01:14:34,299
You saw the perpetrators?
562
01:14:34,300 --> 01:14:36,532
They acted in broad daylight.
563
01:14:36,533 --> 01:14:40,232
They would have killed me
if I had tried to intervene.
564
01:14:40,233 --> 01:14:43,199
When I told them
not to loot public property,
565
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,933
they threatened me with their weapons.
566
01:14:49,100 --> 01:14:51,800
Someone who loves his country
wouldn't act that way!
567
01:14:53,233 --> 01:14:55,200
Looting continues.
568
01:14:56,366 --> 01:14:58,332
In broad daylight.
569
01:14:58,333 --> 01:15:02,099
Due to insecurity,
shops close at 3:00 p.m.
570
01:15:02,100 --> 01:15:07,100
Whereas before,
we used to work until night.
571
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:22,099
Abroad, they would have preserved
these buildings as national heritage.
572
01:15:22,100 --> 01:15:25,166
Seeing these buildings
in this condition breaks my heart.
573
01:15:28,300 --> 01:15:31,866
In each country, there are
good and bad citizens.
574
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:35,000
They shouldn't be treated the same way.
575
01:15:39,366 --> 01:15:43,200
This market was also looted.
576
01:16:04,466 --> 01:16:06,500
I noticed something.
577
01:16:07,900 --> 01:16:14,033
Looters, the "Ali Baba,"
as the Americans call them.
578
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,032
The looters aren't interested in culture.
579
01:16:18,033 --> 01:16:19,933
They didn't steal books.
580
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:25,833
They used as decoration
the few books they have stolen.
581
01:16:28,900 --> 01:16:30,866
Culture doesn't interest them.
582
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:28,099
The building that you are filming
583
01:17:28,100 --> 01:17:31,865
was one of the palaces
of the Abbasid Caliphs.
584
01:17:31,866 --> 01:17:37,032
Their palaces were situated
along the right bank of the Tigris River.
585
01:17:37,033 --> 01:17:39,965
From the district of Bab-Al-Moatham
586
01:17:39,966 --> 01:17:44,233
to the Al-Ahrar bridge.
587
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:51,000
In this neighborhood were gathered
all the official institutions.
588
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:59,565
Iraqi resistance will be declared
589
01:17:59,566 --> 01:18:03,232
in response to the exactions
of the US occupiers.
590
01:18:03,233 --> 01:18:10,133
There's no government
to protect citizens and their property...
591
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:17,533
to provide them with water,
gas, electricity and medicine.
592
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:23,065
All of this will exacerbate
593
01:18:23,066 --> 01:18:27,200
the anger of Iraqis.
594
01:18:28,033 --> 01:18:31,266
Iraqis are friendly by nature.
595
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:35,500
They are also welcoming and patient.
596
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:40,465
But if you humiliate them,
hurt their pride
597
01:18:40,466 --> 01:18:43,000
and disrupt their existence, they revolt.
598
01:18:51,900 --> 01:18:56,033
We are Sunni and Shiite brothers!
We will not sell our country!
599
01:19:23,500 --> 01:19:26,332
They buried a martyr here.
600
01:19:26,333 --> 01:19:29,432
When Americans arrived in Baghdad,
601
01:19:29,433 --> 01:19:32,966
they killed all those
who tried to resist them.
602
01:19:33,333 --> 01:19:36,565
This tomb has been marked
so as not to be trampled.
603
01:19:36,566 --> 01:19:41,199
On the road to the airport,
there are many graves of martyrs.
604
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:44,800
They were buried here
and covered with earth.
605
01:19:45,466 --> 01:19:47,833
Several graves.
606
01:20:24,533 --> 01:20:29,799
One of those kids saw an object
on the ground and thought it was a toy.
607
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:32,166
But when he touched
the object, it exploded.
608
01:20:32,866 --> 01:20:36,066
It was an explosive weapon.
The kid lost one of his arms.
609
01:20:41,100 --> 01:20:43,933
A kid of their age.
610
01:20:58,566 --> 01:21:02,399
This handicapped child
is a victim of the embargo.
611
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:06,400
He needs to have surgery abroad,
but his family is too poor.
612
01:21:07,366 --> 01:21:09,433
He will remain like this all his life.
613
01:21:12,133 --> 01:21:14,366
He can't walk much. He falls.
614
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:20,100
The Americans mocked him
when they saw him.
615
01:22:04,566 --> 01:22:07,365
My nephew Ammar.
616
01:22:07,366 --> 01:22:13,300
You know how the Americans
killed your neighbor Uday?
617
01:22:14,833 --> 01:22:16,900
He was carrying an ignition coil.
618
01:22:17,366 --> 01:22:20,032
Americans saw him and shot him.
619
01:22:20,033 --> 01:22:23,832
Then the police arrived
and asked us who killed him.
620
01:22:23,833 --> 01:22:26,200
We replied, "American soldiers."
621
01:22:26,933 --> 01:22:29,799
Five minutes later,
they carried him to the morgue.
622
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:33,199
- The ignition coil had something special?
- No.
623
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:35,932
They shot him
when they saw it in his hand.
624
01:22:35,933 --> 01:22:38,899
An ignition coil doesn't look like a bomb!
625
01:22:38,900 --> 01:22:41,133
There are electric cables.
626
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:48,299
You know how old he was?
627
01:22:48,300 --> 01:22:50,233
27 years old.
628
01:22:52,100 --> 01:22:53,366
He was young!
629
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:57,465
Yes, still young.
630
01:22:57,466 --> 01:22:59,099
How did his parents react?
631
01:22:59,100 --> 01:23:01,065
How do you want them to react!
632
01:23:01,066 --> 01:23:02,800
They are devastated.
633
01:23:05,866 --> 01:23:08,199
He left home at 10:00 a.m.
634
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:10,933
Fifteen minutes later,
his brother came to tell me that...
635
01:23:11,900 --> 01:23:14,165
Americans had just killed an Iraqi.
636
01:23:14,166 --> 01:23:16,399
I said, "May God support his parents!"
637
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:19,366
You know why the Americans killed him?
638
01:23:20,500 --> 01:23:24,500
Some people say...
639
01:23:26,066 --> 01:23:27,865
that he was carrying a gun!
640
01:23:27,866 --> 01:23:31,100
How could he have one
while we have no weapon at home!
641
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:33,500
Not a single weapon.
642
01:23:34,933 --> 01:23:37,099
They killed him for no reason.
643
01:23:37,100 --> 01:23:39,199
Everyone is convinced of that.
644
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:41,999
They shot him in the back!
645
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:43,333
Two bullets.
646
01:23:46,133 --> 01:23:49,800
Suppose he was carrying a gun...
647
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:53,833
He had his back turned,
so why shoot him?
648
01:23:55,500 --> 01:23:58,866
If he was really carrying a gun,
as they claim...
649
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,199
they could threaten him
by shooting in the air.
650
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:04,833
The first bullet didn't kill him.
651
01:24:05,933 --> 01:24:08,966
It entered through the back
and went out through the side.
652
01:24:09,533 --> 01:24:12,399
They could encircle him
and take his weapon.
653
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:14,832
So why did they kill him
with a second bullet?
654
01:24:14,833 --> 01:24:16,900
They don't offer you compensation?
655
01:24:18,533 --> 01:24:21,233
Does compensation replace a brother?
656
01:24:22,033 --> 01:24:25,066
- Would it make him come back to life?
- No, of course not.
657
01:24:29,233 --> 01:24:31,500
Did they apologize to you?
658
01:24:32,366 --> 01:24:35,033
- No.
- Because they have the power.
659
01:24:36,900 --> 01:24:39,365
- They took the place of Saddam.
- They have the power.
660
01:24:39,366 --> 01:24:44,465
Saddam was acting the same way.
661
01:24:44,466 --> 01:24:50,265
My wife cannot go on the porch
since they settled in front of our house.
662
01:24:50,266 --> 01:24:53,500
They spy on us.
663
01:24:56,100 --> 01:24:58,199
We can no longer stand on the terrace.
664
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:01,500
They spy on people with their binoculars.
665
01:25:02,466 --> 01:25:06,532
Under Saddam, one could walk outside
at three in the morning.
666
01:25:06,533 --> 01:25:10,400
Nowadays, nobody dares go out
after 9:00 p.m.!
667
01:25:11,433 --> 01:25:14,832
Shopkeepers in our neighborhood say
that since the death of my brother
668
01:25:14,833 --> 01:25:16,999
they can no longer work.
669
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,032
A restaurant owner in the neighborhood
670
01:25:19,033 --> 01:25:21,065
stopped sending his son
to deliver sandwiches
671
01:25:21,066 --> 01:25:25,166
because he's afraid that
the Americans will shoot his son.
672
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:31,332
The death of my brother
will not remain without revenge.
673
01:25:31,333 --> 01:25:33,899
I cannot say more.
674
01:25:33,900 --> 01:25:38,299
Although I'm a woman, if I had a gun,
I would use it for revenge.
675
01:25:38,300 --> 01:25:40,900
I would personally kill them.
676
01:25:41,300 --> 01:25:43,333
But I have no weapon.
677
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:11,399
A bullet impact.
678
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:12,500
Another one.
679
01:26:14,166 --> 01:26:16,166
This one scuffed the roof.
680
01:26:23,333 --> 01:26:24,800
Here too.
681
01:26:32,933 --> 01:26:34,266
Another one here.
682
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:38,132
It doesn't matter.
683
01:26:38,133 --> 01:26:39,433
What to do?
684
01:26:44,900 --> 01:26:46,832
I chose silence.
685
01:26:46,833 --> 01:26:49,365
I stay at home,
686
01:26:49,366 --> 01:26:53,133
waiting to see
what destiny prepares for us.
687
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,099
The other day,
in the Al-Adamiyah district,
688
01:27:02,100 --> 01:27:05,300
a woman was in her car with her daughter.
689
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:10,333
The story was told to me by Salah and...
690
01:27:11,333 --> 01:27:12,933
Engineer Kassim.
691
01:27:13,366 --> 01:27:16,100
You know engineer Kassim?
692
01:27:16,533 --> 01:27:17,866
Anyway!
693
01:27:18,833 --> 01:27:21,799
While the woman was parking her car,
694
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:25,866
an armed man tried to take her car
and her daughter.
695
01:27:26,300 --> 01:27:30,865
The woman begged the man
to let them go, but in vain.
696
01:27:30,866 --> 01:27:33,000
One of the onlookers was armed.
697
01:27:38,233 --> 01:27:42,499
The onlooker said to the woman,
"Let him take your car. This is democracy!
698
01:27:42,500 --> 01:27:44,399
Leave him your daughter and your car."
699
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:47,165
The woman protested again. In vain.
700
01:27:47,166 --> 01:27:49,065
Then the onlooker said to the bandit,
701
01:27:49,066 --> 01:27:51,899
"Take the car and the girl.
This is democracy."
702
01:27:51,900 --> 01:27:55,999
As the bandit installed himself
behind the wheel,
703
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,165
the onlooker shot him in the head.
704
01:27:58,166 --> 01:28:00,865
Before he switched on the ignition.
705
01:28:00,866 --> 01:28:06,399
People in the neighborhood
applauded and embraced the savior.
706
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:09,033
Then the savior told the woman to leave.
707
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:13,300
When I see girls in the street,
I worry for them.
708
01:28:14,333 --> 01:28:17,132
The situation is a little better now.
709
01:28:17,133 --> 01:28:20,165
Although there is still no government.
710
01:28:20,166 --> 01:28:22,899
The government will be
announced in two weeks.
711
01:28:22,900 --> 01:28:27,099
Without a presidential election!
712
01:28:27,100 --> 01:28:29,032
We will return to the monarchy.
713
01:28:29,033 --> 01:28:32,233
- Great!
- Monarchy is better.
714
01:28:33,466 --> 01:28:37,899
- A monarchy is better than a Republic.
- And better than democracy.
715
01:28:37,900 --> 01:28:39,999
Dad, monarchy isn't good!
716
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:41,899
Our life would be better under a monarchy.
717
01:28:41,900 --> 01:28:44,032
You don't know what a monarchy is.
718
01:28:44,033 --> 01:28:47,033
Under the monarchy,
people could sleep without worry.
719
01:28:50,166 --> 01:28:52,800
- Iraqis were seven million.
- Six million.
720
01:28:54,366 --> 01:28:57,300
Baghdad was composed of a few districts.
721
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:00,966
This is my mother!
722
01:29:02,066 --> 01:29:04,032
She looks like you!
723
01:29:04,033 --> 01:29:07,866
Hello, ma'am! May God grant you health!
724
01:29:15,933 --> 01:29:18,200
He says you look like your son.
725
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,300
She wears glasses.
726
01:29:22,933 --> 01:29:25,133
- You wear glasses too.
- Yes.
727
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:27,466
Where does she live?
728
01:29:28,300 --> 01:29:30,799
She has her own house.
729
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:33,865
- She lives alone?
- My brother lives with her.
730
01:29:33,866 --> 01:29:37,232
- He is unmarried and sick.
- I've seen him here, right?
731
01:29:37,233 --> 01:29:39,399
No, you don't know him.
732
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:41,365
Poor boy! Where does he live?
733
01:29:41,366 --> 01:29:43,332
He lives with our mother.
734
01:29:43,333 --> 01:29:48,200
- Their house is in the neighborhood?
- Yes, in front of the market.
735
01:29:51,833 --> 01:29:55,033
If an elderly person
doesn't own a house...
736
01:29:55,966 --> 01:29:58,332
She lives in humiliation.
737
01:29:58,333 --> 01:30:02,333
She could become homeless.
738
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:08,533
I saw old people thrown
into the street by their sons.
739
01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:31,932
Uncle Samir was very young!
740
01:30:31,933 --> 01:30:34,900
Yes, he was still a child.
741
01:30:44,133 --> 01:30:47,066
They forbade us to hold
a funeral service for him.
742
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:51,066
They even forbade us
to wear mourning clothes.
743
01:30:52,100 --> 01:30:54,832
Three months later,
744
01:30:54,833 --> 01:30:57,833
they came to arrest
his younger brother Samir.
745
01:30:59,900 --> 01:31:04,532
They accused Samir of claiming at school
746
01:31:04,533 --> 01:31:08,900
that he'd avenge his brother.
747
01:31:11,466 --> 01:31:17,232
Eight security thugs came to arrest him.
748
01:31:17,233 --> 01:31:20,133
They surrounded us.
749
01:31:20,966 --> 01:31:23,266
Samir had just had his lunch.
750
01:31:25,100 --> 01:31:27,965
He was taking a nap in his room.
751
01:31:27,966 --> 01:31:30,432
Security men stormed the house.
752
01:31:30,433 --> 01:31:33,265
We told them that Samir was sleeping.
753
01:31:33,266 --> 01:31:36,800
They ordered us to wake him up
so they could interrogate him.
754
01:31:37,533 --> 01:31:40,966
He came down wearing his pajamas.
755
01:31:43,033 --> 01:31:44,932
They grabbed him.
756
01:31:44,933 --> 01:31:47,199
We asked them what crime
757
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:50,033
a 13-year-old schoolboy
could have committed.
758
01:31:51,033 --> 01:31:53,332
They promised to bring him home
after the investigation,
759
01:31:53,333 --> 01:31:55,033
but we never saw him again.
760
01:31:55,533 --> 01:32:00,533
For years, we tried to find out
where he was. In vain.
761
01:32:02,033 --> 01:32:04,166
We thought
he was imprisoned somewhere.
762
01:32:05,033 --> 01:32:07,066
Then recently, we discovered...
763
01:32:08,433 --> 01:32:12,000
that he had been executed and buried...
764
01:32:13,966 --> 01:32:15,300
in the mass grave of Husseiniya.
765
01:32:16,500 --> 01:32:18,133
He did nothing wrong.
766
01:32:18,533 --> 01:32:20,432
That's the whole story.
767
01:32:20,433 --> 01:32:23,866
Grief made me lose
my health and eyesight.
768
01:32:24,266 --> 01:32:26,833
Two innocent kids murdered!
769
01:32:39,333 --> 01:32:41,200
My poor kids!
770
01:32:42,500 --> 01:32:44,199
They saw nothing of life.
771
01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:47,832
Haidar's grandmother
will die six months later.
772
01:32:47,833 --> 01:32:52,999
According to Sérgio de Mello,
the UN representative in Iraq,
773
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:57,799
the first meeting
of the Provisional Council of Government
774
01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:00,466
is a historic step.
775
01:33:01,166 --> 01:33:03,165
On this occasion, Sérgio de Mello
776
01:33:03,166 --> 01:33:06,199
called on the council to respect
the will of the Iraqi people.
777
01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:09,199
The council was created
by the US administration,
778
01:33:09,200 --> 01:33:10,965
which appointed its members,
779
01:33:10,966 --> 01:33:17,900
pending the holding of the first
democratic elections in the country.
780
01:33:22,900 --> 01:33:26,099
According to the US Army's spokesman,
781
01:33:26,100 --> 01:33:28,299
an American soldier was killed
782
01:33:28,300 --> 01:33:34,300
and four others were wounded
this morning during an attack.
783
01:33:35,133 --> 01:33:37,965
This attack comes
a day after a declaration
784
01:33:37,966 --> 01:33:41,199
by the US Secretary of Defense,
Donald Rumsfeld,
785
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:45,900
predicting a likely increase
in attacks this month.
786
01:33:46,933 --> 01:33:48,999
July coincides actually
787
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:54,232
with several events
related to the Baath Party,
788
01:33:54,233 --> 01:34:00,166
which was led by the deposed
president Saddam Hussein.
789
01:34:00,866 --> 01:34:04,232
The Baathists resigned
since the fall of Saddam.
790
01:34:04,233 --> 01:34:06,465
They are out of the game.
791
01:34:06,466 --> 01:34:10,832
But America accuses them purposely
of being the initiators of the attacks,
792
01:34:10,833 --> 01:34:15,200
in order to cause discord between
Baathists and other citizens.
793
01:34:16,933 --> 01:34:20,000
They divide the people
in order to provoke massacres.
794
01:34:20,966 --> 01:34:24,265
The Baathists
have nothing to do with the attacks.
795
01:34:24,266 --> 01:34:25,900
They don't leave their homes.
796
01:34:27,833 --> 01:34:31,366
Attacks are individual acts
and aren't organized.
797
01:34:37,833 --> 01:34:42,232
Arab leaders hate Saddam
because he is not a traitor like them.
798
01:34:42,233 --> 01:34:45,965
TV channels defame Saddam
799
01:34:45,966 --> 01:34:49,799
by claiming that he gave Iraq
to the Americans.
800
01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:52,199
He's not a traitor and he
didn't give Iraq the Americans.
801
01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:55,333
It is the Arab regimes that
delivered Iraq to the Americans.
802
01:34:55,966 --> 01:34:58,965
They helped the Americans
to defeat Saddam.
803
01:34:58,966 --> 01:35:01,800
Arab regimes are responsible
for the current situation.
804
01:35:02,366 --> 01:35:07,965
I hope that Saddam will come back
to restore law and order.
805
01:35:07,966 --> 01:35:13,433
Myself, if Saddam comes back,
I would not dare sell weapons.
806
01:35:14,133 --> 01:35:17,199
We only obey force.
Democracy isn't for us.
807
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:19,466
What about Saddam's mass graves?
808
01:35:20,933 --> 01:35:26,432
The mass graves are the result of killings
between Shiites and Sunnis in 1991.
809
01:35:26,433 --> 01:35:29,965
No! There are even Kurds
buried in those graves.
810
01:35:29,966 --> 01:35:33,866
Saddam executed only
thieves and vicious people.
811
01:35:35,533 --> 01:35:39,132
Do you know why he used
chemical weapons in Halabja?
812
01:35:39,133 --> 01:35:44,899
My uncle was two years older than me,
and Saddam sentenced him to death.
813
01:35:44,900 --> 01:35:46,232
There must be a reason.
814
01:35:46,233 --> 01:35:51,265
My uncle was returning from school
when they arrested him.
815
01:35:51,266 --> 01:35:54,832
Saddam didn't execute
people for no reason.
816
01:35:54,833 --> 01:35:58,900
- My uncle did nothing.
- Why didn't Saddam execute you?
817
01:36:20,866 --> 01:36:24,199
The guy there, he's carrying a gun!
818
01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:27,832
- Which guy?
- Near the car there.
819
01:36:27,833 --> 01:36:30,032
He's a thief.
820
01:36:30,033 --> 01:36:31,866
You see his gun?
821
01:36:52,133 --> 01:36:58,065
- Why are you carrying a gun?
- Why? Because of insecurity.
822
01:36:58,066 --> 01:37:02,066
We are afraid to walk in the street.
Americans don't ensure security.
823
01:37:02,900 --> 01:37:05,333
And we don't know why!
824
01:37:07,366 --> 01:37:10,399
Anything can happen.
825
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:16,200
Everyone runs the risk of being attacked.
Even at home, we are not safe.
826
01:37:18,500 --> 01:37:20,499
We must arm ourselves.
827
01:37:20,500 --> 01:37:22,966
I have four weapons.
828
01:37:25,200 --> 01:37:27,365
It can be dangerous for children, right?
829
01:37:27,366 --> 01:37:30,199
No. Iraqis are accustomed to arms.
830
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:34,165
Two months later, these two guys
will be killed by a rival gang
831
01:37:34,166 --> 01:37:37,399
I have weapons at home and in my car.
832
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:41,132
The Americans searched my car
without finding the hiding place.
833
01:37:41,133 --> 01:37:46,565
Bandits attacked me in broad daylight
and took my car.
834
01:37:46,566 --> 01:37:49,166
The car cost me five million dinars!
835
01:37:52,833 --> 01:37:54,833
I don't go in the street
without ammunition.
836
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:24,833
- They're dead?
- It's not yet confirmed.
837
01:38:37,933 --> 01:38:39,999
They didn't confirm the news.
838
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:43,165
- They arrested them.
- Then why didn't they confirm the news?
839
01:38:43,166 --> 01:38:45,132
They must first negotiate.
840
01:38:45,133 --> 01:38:48,033
- Dad, listen to the news!
- Turn it up!
841
01:38:52,866 --> 01:38:54,399
Turn it up!
842
01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:57,400
- They were killed in Mosul.
- Saddam and his son.
843
01:39:02,200 --> 01:39:08,299
A press conference by the US
Secretary of Defense is expected.
844
01:39:08,300 --> 01:39:13,200
The conference has been delayed...
845
01:39:25,366 --> 01:39:27,000
Sit here, Dad!
846
01:39:27,900 --> 01:39:30,999
Before commenting on the information,
847
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:36,300
the White House is probably
waiting for its confirmation.
848
01:39:40,866 --> 01:39:46,399
If it appears that this arrest
is due the reward of $15 million,
849
01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:50,799
this could be considered
as a consequence of bad relationships
850
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:53,800
between Saddam's family
and the Iraqi people.
