Our River … Our Sky at Glasgow Film Theatre

20 – 25 October, 2023

Maysoon Pachachi’s fiction debut is a tumultuous portrait of lives in an Iraqi war zone.

In a typically mixed Baghdadi neighbourhood in 2006, a community of ordinary people try to live their everyday lives amidst the threat of unpredictable violence. At the heart of these intersecting stories we find Sara, a single mother and novelist, who regains her will to write after witnessing the forced exile of her Christian neighbour and best friend Sabiha. With the news of Saddam Hussein’s sudden execution shortly before the New Year, Sara and her neighbours brace themselves for an uncertain future while trying to sustain a sense of hope.
