You can join a band or a militia
April 10th, 2007 by jwfield
Hometown Baghdad is a “documentary web series following the lives of a few Iraqi 20-somethings trying to survive in Baghdad”. These are very powerful films. In the one entitled “Songs of Pain”, the student-musician named “adel” starts off by saying that “You can join a band, or you can join a militia, or you can join a gang. The important thing is that you do something”.
In this episode, Adel uses heavy metal to express his rage at the death and destruction surrounding him.
Hometown Baghdad was shot by an all-Iraqi crew and tells the stories of three young people trying to survive in Baghdad.
