Wir möchten hier fortführen, was der Filmemacher Samir begonnen hat – die Geschichte seiner über die Welt verstreuten Familie zu erzählen und dadurch auch ein Stück der Geschichte des Iraks zu rekonstruieren. Samirs Geschichten finden sich in unserer Zeitleiste.
Samir’s documentary IRAQI ODYSSEY tells the story of his own diasporic family and in the telling he reconstructs a part of Iraqi history. With this he has laid a foundation.
We would like to re-tell the story of Iraq, for ultimately history is but a collection of smaller and larger stories. All your stories together make up the history of Iraq. This is about creating a personal, subjective history open to discovery.
Share your family histories with us, your photographs and your film footage, and with your own mosaic piece join us in creating a fuller picture of this country. Join the conversation, discover and share the stories of other contributors. Be part of an Iraqi story – written by individuals for individuals.
