iraq in fragments

Part one of this movie was called Mohammad of Baghdad. It took place in 2003. Mohammad, who is eleven years old, was saying that it used to be so beautiful in Baghdad, but now it's not. He sees American troops, tanks, and helicopters everywhere, and he says that it is very scary for him. The Iraqis are saying that the American deny taking Iraqi oil, but they know this is not true. They say that things are getting worse every day. The Americans say that they are providing security and humanitarian aid, but there isn't any. Mohammad is already working to support his mother and grandmother. He has a lot of responsibilities that I know I did not have at his age. He dropped out of school, and he does not know how to read or write. He decides to go back to school again. He has failed the first grade twice already, and he is four years older than the rest of the kids. His boss is talking about how Saddam would have never let the Iraqis live like they are now. He wishes that Saddam was still around. At the end of this part, his boss is yelling at Mohammad because he can't read or write. He start hitting him and telling him that he is fired. This is very sad to see because the boy is only eleven years old. He gets yelled at for playing with marbles when he was supposed to be cleaning, but he is just a kid.
