Cultural Arts Center of Saint Louis Recommends Iraqi Documentaries

Fires of Kuwait (1992) English or French with subtitles

Shot on location, Fires of Kuwait takes viewers to the very center of the terrible Gulf War legacy. Firefighters from 10 countries answered Kuwait's cry for help. Supported by more than 10,000 people from 40 nations they battled and won.

CAC’s Comments: The best part of the whole film was when they showed what they called the “Big Wind” which was a Russian T-34 Tank with the gun turret replaced with jet engines of a Mig-21 fighter plan.

Ghosts of Abu Ghraib (2007) English or Spanish no subtitles

Interviews with perpetrators, witnesses, and victims examining the abuses that occurred in the fall of 2003 at the Iraqi prison. Probes the psychology of how typical American men and women came to commit these acts.

CAC’s Comments: Very informative
