Revisiting Iraqi Politics on Global Voices

Coming this Sunday to Global Voices on PBS WORLD is the 2007 Academy Award nominated film My Country, MY Country. The documentary tells the behind-the-scenes story of the January 2005 national elections in Iraq from the perspective of the people who planned, participated in and boycotted them.

Directed by Laura Poitras, the film offers a sobering look at Iraq two years after the U.S.-led invasion and is a testament to the courage of people willing to put their lives on the line for the promise of democracy.
