Screen "Nice Bombs" at Siskel and meet director Usama Alshaibi

Mapimage?mapdata=cf3c9

After an absence of 24 years, Chicago-based director Alshaibi, now a
U.S. citizen, returns to his native Iraq with his father and his wife
to make a film. American-occupied Baghdad is in part a time warp (his
childhood slide is still in the yard), but the daily fear of bombs and
random gunfire casts a chill over the family reunion. This remarkable
inside story movingly explicates the confusion, anger, and stoicism of
ordinary Iraqi citizens caught in a living hell as hope for freedom
from fear rapidly wanes. DigiBeta video. (BS)
