New Documentary on Iraqi Refugees

"Hard Way Home" is a new documentary on Iraq refugees that follows the stories of three families, you can watch it on their website!!!, which also has information on the Iraqi refugee situation.

The documentary is so amazing I can't even mention all the parts...

One important stat is I cannot not mention though is that 1 of every 3 marriages in Iraq was 'mixed' meaning between Sunni and Shii, WOW, great evidence that there was sectarian hatred pre invasion. Iraqis have NEVER thought of themselves as Sunni and Shii before the security vacuum post invasion. (See one of my first posts on this blog for more about this...)

I love this documentary bc the commentator knows his s--t, like when he says "The NEW sectarian hatred cuts to the heart of Iraqi society..." (Bc of all the mixed marriages) Thank you!
