With Saaid Farhan/Karem abo Fatma/Abo Amien
Camera: Wato
Interview: Ali Alfatlawi
9 min, Zurich, 2005
The film documentary “Return” tells the story of Iraqis who live in Switzerland and share the same dream. They all want to return to Iraq one day. This dream comes true for people in the film who have been away for twelve, fifteen or even twentyfive years after fleeing their land for political reasons. However now that they have the choice there is the fear of the shock. The fear that the memories of the beauty of the land that they remember will be destroyed when they return. That is the Iraq before the war and after their return. Iraqis speak about their return.
