"
'The Dream of Sparrows,' the first documentary film out of Baghdad by an Iraqi filmmaker since Saddam's ouster, is the one with buzz...the footage is often difficult to watch, especially in Fallujah, where too many innocents have been killed. One of his cameramen was fatally wounded during the filming of the documentary in crossfire between U.S. troops and insurgents. Though it was one of the festival's more slapdash works, it was easily one of the most haunting." - Lorraine Ali, (Newsweek/msnbc.com)
