Out of all the films that have emerged from the rubble that has now become Iraq, In the Shadow of the Palms is the only documentary that presents the Iraqi people we actually do not get to see, the ordinary and the unique.
A truly stunning documentary, that 'shocks and awes' in more ways than one.
In the Shadow of the Palms is must see for anyone who wants to gain a contextual understanding of the war in Iraq. It is the only film that shows the lives of ordinary Iraqis before the war, the human impact of war and the post war situation if it can be called that.
The discussion with the US soldiers highlight many of the issues that are polarised in the media.
The Wrestling coach, the insights of the Professor of Poetry, scenes from fashion parades, cafes and schools... a rare, captivating and enlightening film.
