The Countdown

1h 30m
Overview
The film was not permitted to be screened, similar to another Iraqi film, Hafr al-Batin. Some said the ban was because the film did not appeal to President Saddam Hussein, while others argued it was due to the film’s criticism of the dictatorial regime. The former explanation is considered more likely.
