Blood of My Brother is about the anguish and need for revenge felt by a young Iraqi man whose brother (Ra'ad) was killed by an American patrol while guarding a Mosque. You are taken into the streets of Iraq and meet the relatives and friends of Ra'ad. They talk about the hard times under Saddam and the hard times with American occupation. You also see another side where the deeply religious people want no more bloodshed for any reason but mostly the suppressed need for revenge. Lots of footage of the grieving and suffering interleaved with calls for peace and calls for revenge from religious leaders. This is not an entertainment film. It is simply a film about the pain, suffering, anger, and loss of a group of Iraqis.
