Casa del Popolo presents 'Heavy Metal in Baghdad,' a feature documentary set in worn-torn Iraq. The movie follows the story of the band 'Acrassicauda,' as they fight to play metal in a Muslim country.
From 2003-2006, Iraq disintegrated around them while Acrassicauda struggled to stay together and stay alive, always refusing to let their heavy metal dreams die. Their story echoes the unspoken hopes of an entire generation of young Iraqis.
It looks like a good watch and an eye-opener so be sure to check it out.
