Once upon a time in Iraq is not for the faint-hearted, like me. I cried through all the episodes - witnessing the irreparable human suffering, and asking the question why.... The documentary tries to provide a multi faceted story with an aim to be realistic and objective - it provides experiences from Americans (military/political/families/journalists) , Iraqi youth, children and women (reflecting the sectarian divides too), as well as those who are still in Iraq and those who were forced to flee. It is very sad to watch, not knowing what, if anything you can do to make things change for the better.... there is a LOT of work waiting.
