The Tenth Planet: A Single Life in Baghdad
January 1, 2006
38m
Overview
A sparkling young Baghdadi woman, Kawkab, leads us around her city with a mischievous glint. Defying the stereotype of the Muslim woman, she is not afraid to speak her mind about anything, from sex, love, and virginity to her pro-Saddam patriotism. The film paints a unique picture of the current situation in Iraq from her perspective - totally different from the U.S. media's coverage as it measures the cost of war by body counts and dollars spent. Kawkab reveals an intimate and human side of Baghdad, speaking with compelling optimism of her hopes and joys.
