Layered video montage with Samir's personal view of the Gulf War. Alongside the familiar news footage he uses home-movie shots of his relatives in Bagdad and calligraphed Iraqi words. By juxtaposing personal pictures with media images Samir convincingly shows that a war is more than the work of a general.
