Two young Iraqis risked their lives for freedom in the 2019 uprising. Five years later, what kind of world are they facing? CPH:DOX and Thessaloniki selected.
A committed feminist, Milo enthusiastically took part in the 2019 mass demonstrations in Iraq’s capital, Baghdad. In response, her ultra-conservative family locked her up at home for a year and burnt her wardrobe and possessions. Now she sneaks out of the house in her brother’s clothes. Khalili risked his life filming the street battles; his devastating footage is featured in the film. Today, he struggles with the impact of activism on his health and wellbeing. Working closely with Swiss filmmaker Maja Tschumi, the pair collaborated on this unique, cinematic film based on their lives, laying bare memories as they expose their anguish and hope.
