Our Feelings Took the Pictures: Open Shutters Iraq
A film by Maysoon Pachachi
"This ultimately hopeful film documents a remarkable photography project, Open Shutters Iraq... For a month, a group of women, from 5 cities in Iraq, live and work together in a traditional courtyard house in Damascus... They unearth memories, buried in the course of just trying to survive 30 years of war, dictatorship and sanctions."
