An independent film that I saw at a festival - and it really affected me.
I won't spoil the plot but the story centres on three guys who escape from Saddam's Iraq and make it to Britain. When they get there, they realise that bureaucracy is their next biggest enemy. I was not the only one crying by the end of the movie. Great performances from the main actors and a story that still works now - even after Saddam's death.
It's a crime this film hasn't got a distribution deal. If you get the chance, see it
