Remember Baghdad
Sa’ad Palace Conference Centre, Erbil 11th March 2019
ArtRole wishes to contribute to the dialogue on religious diversity and tolerance in the Kurdistan Region. In order to trigger such a dialogue, ArtRole screened “Remember Baghdad,” the documentary movie that was produced in 2018 in English by “Spring Films,” with Fiona Murphy as director. The film is the untold story of Iraq, an unmissable insight into how the country developed through the eyes of the Jews, Iraq’s first wave of refugees.
The main purpose of screening “Remember Baghdad” is to support coexistence, diversity, social cohesion, and peace in the Kurdistan Region and whole Iraq. It was a historical event that created a platform for free expression and introduced multicultural Iraq in mid twentieth century.
