For more than twenty-five years, Award Films International has sought to bring
you the best --and often the most sontroversial-- films available worldwide.
They have succeeded once more with the exclusive release of the groundbreaking
new documentary, "Boy of Baghdad."
Using an embedded Iraqi camera crew, AFI has delivered an unpresedented look
at life inside post-war Iraq, all from the unique perspective of a precocious
12-year-old boy.
Doe-eyed and adorable Kheer Allah with his mother, father, two brothers and
sister, live in an empty house where they earn their rent by guarding it and
doing repairs for the owner. Their "home" has no furniture and no modern
appliances, except for an old television and radio sitting precariously atop
an oil drum and stack of used tires.
There's no meat on this family's table. Home-baked pita bread is the staple
in this beyond-poor household. School is out of the question, too. Young
Kheer Allah must work every day to help his family survive.
This daily struggle forms the heart of this remarkable film. Through the
wind-swept and war-ravaged streets of his neighborhood, Kheer Allah parlays
his abundant charm into a variety of odd jobs that bring little money, but
much satisfaction to his ever-smiling face.
"Boy of Baghdad" is the heartbreaking --and very real-- story of a remarkable
boy forced to grow up much too quickly, in a dangerous world gone mad with
politics and fanaticism. One that has sadly ignored its most vulnerable citi-
zens, its children...

Having made do with crappy-looking VHS- and TV-Rips over the years, I chanced
upon this Award Films International DVD one night on eBay, and while it was
listed for an exorbitant price, I was able to haggle with the seller and get
it down to something I could live with.
