Definitely worth watching

The Dreams of Sparrows is a simple movie about people of modern day Iraq, by Iraqis for Americans. It doesn't adhere to a position or make a case for or against U.S. policy on Iraq. It shows, better than the evening news, what life is like and what Iraqis think about their current state of affairs, and American involvement in their country. We see their hopes and aspirations. It is very worthwhile watching. I recommend it.

This film should be distributed in the United States. I found it through Netflix and a distributor I found through amazon.co.uk that will sell to buyers in the U.S.
