Rocking Out In Baghdad

With all the death, mayhem and chaos that envelops the capital of Iraq it is hard to imagine anything worthwhile could come out of that city. However there are people in Baghdad that are fighting back without bullets. In this video, a young man by the name of Adel writes and plays music that defines the violence that surrounds his life. Although the rest of his band has moved to safer places like the north and into Jordan, they vow to play again together.



From ChatThePlanet:

In this episode, Adel uses heavy metal to express his rage at the death and destruction surrounding him.

Hometown Baghdad was shot by an all-Iraqi crew and tells the stories of three young people trying to survive in Baghdad.
