DESCRIPTION:Working alone in Iraq over eight months, director/cinematographer Laura 
 Poitras creates an extraordinarily intimate portrait of Iraqis living under 
 U.S. occupation. Her principal focus is Dr. Riyadh, an Iraqi medical 
 doctor, father of six and Sunni political candidate. An outspoken critic of 
 the occupation, he is equally passionate about the need to establish 
 democracy in Iraq, arguing that Sunni participation in the January 2005 
 elections is essential. Yet all around him, Dr. Riyadh sees only chaos, as 
 his waiting room fills each day with patients suffering the physical and 
 mental effects of ever-increasing violence. Dramatically interwoven into 
 the personal journey of Dr. Riyadh is the landscape of the US military 
 occupation, with Australian private security contractors, American 
 journalists and the UN officials who orchestrate the elections. Unfolding 
 like a narrative drama, MY COUNTRY, MY COUNTRY follows the agonizing 
 predicament and gradual descent of one man caught in the tragic 
 contradictions of the U.S. occupation of Iraq and its project to spread 
 democracy in the Middle East. ( 90 mins, 2006)\n
