On the Banks of the Tigris - trailer

Forgotten origins of Iraqi music celebrated in award-winning documentary

It's hard to say what's most remarkable about an Australian film winning best documentary at the 2015 Baghdad Film Festival.

Yes, the revelations in Melbourne filmmaker Marsha Emerman's On the Banks of the Tigris are profound – for Iraqis at home and in diaspora, for the Jewish songwriters it reinstates in the nation's cultural history, and for an anxious world looking always for signs of unity and reconciliation.

Iraqis are grateful, and still need GIs’ help

Over the past 12 years, American and Iraqi soldiers have fought alongside each other, bled together, died together and wept together to mourn our fallen comrades.

On this Veterans Day, we should honor all the brave fighters who risked their lives and limbs, often making the ultimate sacrifice, to liberate Iraq from tyranny and terrorism.

Iraqis understand why the service and sacrifice of so many Iraqis and Americans must not be in vain.

Iraqi-born artist Wafaa Bilal is using an exhibit in Windsor, Ont., to resurrect a Baghdad Library

In the long history of cultural destruction caused by war in Iraq, the Art Gallery of Windsor, Ont., is the unlikely setting for a project of renewal.

Iraqi-born artist Wafaa Bilal hopes to restock a library that was set on fire in Baghdad in 2003. His plan is surprisingly indirect: he’s created book-like objects filled with blank white pages and will exchange them for real books that the library needs.

To make this work he’s counting on help from visitors to his new exhibition.
