_About Baghdad_: <http://www.aboutbaghdad.com/>

*****   About Baghdad documents an exiled Iraqi poet's return to
Baghdad along with a group of other academics and artists to see what
has become of this illustrious city after wars, sanctions, decades of
oppression and violence. Sinan Antoon, the poet, takes us on a
journey exploring what Iraqis think and feel about the post-war
situation and the complex relationship between the US and Iraq. This
group documents their travels on film as they expose the
victimization of a generation of Iraqis.

About Baghdad is produced by INCOUNTER PRODUCTIONS, a group of
independent activists, academics, and artists.

The artists of About Baghdad hope to develop a successful documentary
which will allow them to contribute to the aid of Iraqi people in
helping them to help themselves.
