frank-614 It always amazes me to see people who have endured great oppression and pain smiling so freely. The film makes it pretty clear that Iraqis have an indomitable spirit. I was struck by the almost unanimous level of support for America and "democracy" presented in the film - especially since an Iraqi poll released yesterday reported that in some areas 65 percent support attacks on US military, and less than one percent think the occupation is improving security. Even if a cynical view held that the film's American editors introduced their spin, the pure joy expressed by the children and twenty-somethings being filmed and filming was clearly genuine.Included in the film are archival clips - shocking examples of Sadaam's torturers at work. A few seconds of these is almost enough to turn any skeptic into a True Believer Bushite.One grumble: Is there a special motion picture school out there that trains sadists to create captions for foreign language films shown in the US? Those in "Voices of Iraq" have to be the absolute most painful to endure - they are tiny, often projected with little contrast with the background and flashed on and off so fast that one would have to be a champeen speed reader to follow wot the h they said.2nd grumble: Next time they do another film like this, hopefully they will hand out tripods along with the cameras. With the camera movement almost constant and the bleepin captions blinking on and off, it is a challenge to concentrate - but seeing the people up front and close and speaking their minds, made it well worth the minor irritation. Check it out.

Sumarie Bass I was looking forward to watching this movie, and it does contain very interesting perspectives from Iraqis all over the country, not just in major areas.However, as the film went on, and as it seemed to become increasingly more one-sided, I started wondering who had edited the film. To get several hundreds of hours down to just 80 minutes, obviously decisions had to be made.I would have really enjoyed a film that showed how everyday Iraqis felt on all sides of the issues, but with the newspaper headlines in contrast to what people were saying, and with everyone in the movie having the same opinion at the end, I thought it was obvious that the editing was done with a pre-conceived bias.It could have been such a great film.

viglen I am personally sick of watching the anti-iraqi documentaries that seem to be coming out in their hundreds lately. Voices of iraq was a breath of fresh air in what is a bad time for my country. This movie represents the iraqi population like you have never seen them before, they may not agree with what many think iraqi's think of the Americans. The thing about Voices of iraq is that its Truthful and sincere in its cause in how it delivers the point.I think every single person interested in iraq should watch this movie and hear the other point of view. The other point of view that never gets heard. The other point of view that voted in their millions on the 30th of January. The silent majority! ASH ASH EL IRAQ !!

dblake616 I wonder how many of the people here calling this film propaganda believe Farenheit 911 is gospel? Some of you seem to be willing to deny that people can possibly be happy now that Saddam is gone because the media (who by the way are here in the US and not in Iraq) tell you they aren't. You say that we shouldn't have gone to Iraq because we had no good reason to do so. Mass graves, murder, and rape were our only reason for going into the Balkans, yet there was no outcry from the left. I guess fiction and fact are in the eyes of the beholder. If it makes your position look good, it's fact. If it makes your opposition look good, it's propaganda.
