Encounters on the Tigris, Part 3 is the concluding chapter of a documentary trilogy exploring the Tigris River in Iraq. Filmmaker Abbas journeys by boat to Al-Amarah, uncovering the remarkable biodiversity that flourishes along the riverbanks before venturing into the Al-Hammar marshes. There, local residents reflect on the devastating political drought of 1991 — a deliberate act that upended their communities — and discuss the enduring consequences for their socio-economic lives and access to water. A meditative and politically aware documentary that balances ecological wonder with the lasting scars of human-made environmental destruction in southern Iraq.
