‘Son of Babylon’ Screening at Mosireen
‘Son of Babylon’ is set initially in Northern Iraq, 2003, two weeks after the fall of Saddam Hussein.
Ahmed, a 12-year-old boy begrudgingly follows in the shadow of his
grandmother. On hearing news that prisoners of war have been found alive
in the South, she is determined to discover the fate of her missing
son, Ahmed’s father, who never returned from the Gulf war in 1991. From
the mountains of Kurdistan to the sands of Babylon, they hitch rides
from strangers and cross paths with fellow pilgrims, on all too similar
journeys. Struggling to understand his grandmother’s search, Ahmed
follows in the forgotten footsteps of a father he never knew. Admission is free.
