Contents Summary
Doctor Riyadh is a father of six and a Sunni political candidate. An outspoken critic of the occupation, he is equally passionate about the need to establish democracy in Iraq, arguing that Sunni participation in the January 2005 elections is essential. Yet all around him, Dr. Riyadh sees only chaos, as his waiting room fills day after day with patients suffering the physical and mental effects of ever-increasing violence. Dramatically interwoven into the personal journey of Dr. Riyadh is the landscape of the US military occupation, with Australian private security contractors, American journalists and the UN officials who orchestrate the elections. The film presents the agonizing predicament and gradual descent of one man caught in the tragic contradictions of the United States’ occupation of Iraq and its project to spread democracy in the Middle East.
