Shot in Baghdad over 3 years – before, during and after the Coalition attack on Iraq, MY HOME, YOUR WAR takes us inside the home of an Iraqi family as they deal with the disruptions and terrors of war as it affects their daily lives.
Layla Hasan, 40, husband Yasir and teenage son, Amro, live in Adhamiya, the heartland of Sunni Muslim resistance against US forces in Baghdad. Layla is a middle class Iraqi woman. Striking and intelligent, she speaks four languages.
Layla had little choice when she was hand-picked to work as a translator for Saddam’s regime. When the US forces arrived she hoped they might offer a path to freedom. Yet now the war is testing her most intimate relationships.
