I saw this film on Indieflix. This rare gem is the type of films I really dig because the filmmaker lets the subjects being the main voices of the film. It is not about an outsider going some places and giving us his opinion as we follow him/her around-(often the case in docs about humanitarian crisis or news reports), nor a voice over narration from an actor sitting on a sound stage. The Wind of Al Amal is about 3 protagonists,3 haunting moments in their past that dramatically impacted their future. But mainly, the film is about an invisible refugees crisis- the Iraqi refugees plight since the invasion in 2003. The film uses different animation techniques and film formats to portray the life of each Iraqi in the film who resettled in the US. Although, the politics and media tend to avoid talking too much about the situation for Iraqi refugees, the film never goes too deep in a political analysis but rather focus on the human aspect. For example, the story of this American woman from Michigan who lost a brother in Vietnam and now who send medications and water supplies to Iraq is very moving. And her brother who decides to go to Iraq to deliver the goods, despite the dangers for American to go there, really show the true American spirit. Again, another example of solidarity and good heart from regular people trying to fix things on a human level where politics failed. The film is about underdog stories all around- from Iraqi refugees who lost everything and trying to rebuild their life in the US and from regular Americans who try to fix the mistakes which have been made and to provide relief to some of the most needed in Iraq. The Wind of Al Amal is really a good gem. Definitely a film that deserves a wider audience. In their official website, they wrote the film is about Change, Struggle and Hope. I'd like to add it is mainly about Solidarity!
