Life After the Fall

Directed by Kasim Abid

A story following a single family in Iraq, filmed across several years and juxtaposed with events of historical importance. Their personal lives become a metaphor for the city and of the larger upheavals following the US led invasion in 2003.

We had hoped to be joined by the film’s producer Maysoon Pachachi for a post screening Q&A (as previously stated in our monthly guide). However, due to work commitments Maysoon cannot make this visit.
