An opus in three parts, IRAQ IN FRAGMENTS offers a series of intimate, passionately-felt
portraits: A fatherless 11-year-old is apprenticed to the domineering owner of a Baghdad
garage; Sadr followers in two Shiite cities rally for regional elections while enforcing
Islamic law at the point of a gun; a family of Kurdish farmers welcomes the US presence,
which has allowed them a measure of freedom previously denied.

American director James Longley spent more than two years filming in Iraq to create this
stunningly photographed, poetically rendered documentary of the war-torn country as
seen through the eyes of Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds. Winner of Best Director, Best
Cinematography and Best Editing awards in the 2006 Sundance Film Festival documentary
competition, the film was also awarded the Grand Jury Prize at the 2006 Full Frame
Documentary Film Festival and the award for Best Documentary at the Chicago
International Film Festival.
