Iraqi cinema has long struggled under the weight of conflict and displacement, yet filmmakers have consistently found ways to document lived experience with honesty and care. Europa and 16/03 both reflect that tradition, rooting themselves in the human cost of war and exodus. Have a look at Macca's reviews below.
Rating: 4.0★
