Going Back To Baghdad

After leaving the city of chaos, Ausama finds his hometown to be even farther on the path to total destruction than when he left:

Escaping Chaos

Saif, featured in a series of "Hometown Baghdad" clips has finally made it out of Baghdad and into the loving arms of his family already in Amman. Glad to hear he made it out, yet still sad for the millions that remain.

Leaving Baghdad

Saif is a lucky one, he's leaving his country for Jordan. As a dentist that was denied his credentials to practice, he is fed up with being there and after holding out for some time, finally leaving.

Off To Shop In Baghdad

Like Congressman Mike Pence said, the markets are just like those in Indiana. Is it typical to walk through Indianapolis or even Gary and watch out for snipers on your way to the shops? Yeah right.

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.
