New -- IRAQ: Voices From the Streets. 2002/23 min./Saul Landau and Sonia Angulo.
Prompted by fears of an impending war, former U.S. Senator James Abourezk (SD-D) and Congressman Nick Rahall (WV-D) visited Iraq in September 2002 to speak with Iraqi officials and ease tensions between the two governments. As Abourezk and Rahall meet with Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister, Tariq Aziz, and others, filmmakers Saul Landau and Sonia Angulo record these encounters and take their own journey to the streets to hear from those who have been and will be affected most by war: the Iraqi people. Listening to the thoughts and feelings of the Iraqi people on this new U.S. threat, serves as a reminder of why war is not justified and why peaceful negotiations are needed.
