It is a moving documentary. The director was given full access by US military, and being a woman, was able to film inside the living room of an Iraqi family with only women present.
The different clips are well edited, and the documentary has a nice balance and feel to it.
There is a (now hilarious) scene in a classroom-setting in which a US-based contractor is teaching to several adult men what democracy is.
The US military is shown as courteous and understanding, so don't mistake this documentary as an anti-occupation rant. It is more about the anxieties of a middle-class family, opposed to violence ("live and let live"), and the aspirations of an every-day family to make their world a better world.
