Following the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri in February 2005, thousands of Lebanese youths spontaneously set up camps in Beirut's Martyrs' Square to rally for an independent Lebanon. However, these youths, who had been born during the civil war that started in 1975, find that not all Lebanese are united as one -- different religious sects, political sects and visions for a future Lebanon keep them deeply divided. Through the experiences of twenty-five-year-old Nadine Zaidan, we get a firsthand look at the passionate debates among Lebanese youths as they discuss hot-topic issues such as the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, Hezbollah and America's intents towards Lebanon. Awards/Festivals: First Prize, IMA Film Festival, Paris; Best Documentary Feature Film, Asia Pacific Screen Awards; Special Tribute, Ismailia Festival, Egypt.

It is April 9, 2003, and Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad's Fardous Square has just been toppled. Two Kurdish soldiers - Asad and Rashid - celebrate with their comrades before being ordered to take food supplies to another area. As they travel, they find a lost five-year-old Iraqi boy named Saddam (a beggar child that the director found and decided to cast). Asad, the gentler and more optimistic one, decides they should find the boy's parents. However, the name triggers a kind of Pavlovian response in Rashid and he refuses at first to help Asad. The film begins with a text explaining that many parents took the name, Saddam, as it guaranteed favours from the government. But this had the reverse effect once Saddam fell from power. Shawkat Amin Korki's debut was shot in Iraq soon after the American troops arrived in Baghdad. Much of the footage captured the elation - albeit short-lived - following Saddam's fall. Awards/Festivals: Winner Best Director, Silver Screen Awards, Singapore International Film Festival 2007. Winner NETPAC Award 2007; Asia Pacific Screen Awards Achievement in Director; First Feature Competition Special Jury Mention in Cinefan - Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema 2007; Cairo International Film Festival 2006; Milan African, Asian and Latin American Film Festival 2007;Refugee Film Festival 2008; Tubingen Arabisches Film Festival 2010.
