The opinions are varied and diverse, contrary to some criticisms of this film. I was lucky to see it with my Iraqi neighbors. The one thing that stands out in this film is the eloquence and education of Iraqi women. Compared to Saudi and Afghani and Pakistani women, Iraqi women are leagues ahead. Iraq will succeed as a democracy only if the women are allowed to flourish. The unfortunate thing is that this film has not been released in theatres. If anything, it would make an excellent episode of Point of View or Frontline. The fact that the media hasn't covered this extraordinary film is more telling about what the media thinks is important than what ordinary people may think is important.
