Well acted. Good script. Great cast.
I remember following the trials and tribulations of Saddam's daughters during their defection and after. Another interesting episode that was not touched on in this film concerns Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash, AKA Chemical Sally. She was the only woman appointed to the Revolutionary Command Council and appeared in TV footage with Saddam during the most recent US invasion - most likely to signal the regimes intent to use chemical weapons. Her rise to power would be interesting enough but for the fact that it was widely known in Iraq that Saddam murdered her father in 1981. He had been deputy prime minister. If only the walls could talk.
