Festival Shows Post-Iraq Invasion Movies
ABC News | "'Baghdad Blogger,' a movie by a well-known Web log writer who calls himself Salam Pax, reveals Iraqi resentment over the U.S. occupation and joy at Saddam Hussein's removal.
It's among several movies to emerge from Iraq's chaos including Iraq's first feature-length drama since Saddam Hussein's fall and a documentary on U.S. troops fighting insurgents being showcased at the Rotterdam Film Festival, which features some 800 films and runs through Sunday.
The documentary is a compilation of short video clips by the Iraqi man who has not revealed his real name and goes by the pen name 'Salam Pax' or 'Peace, Peace,' in Arabic and Latin, respectively.
His detailed, personal descriptions of life in Baghdad were read by hundreds of thousands on the Internet and later in the British newspaper The Guardian.
