Overview

Mawtini — My Homeland is a bold Iraqi science fiction film set in Baghdad in the early 1990s, reimagined as an alternate reality where cyborgs have replaced the human population. Against this dystopian backdrop, a young couple clutching their newborn desperately attempt to flee their country as war erupts around them. Blending speculative fiction with the deeply painful historical memory of Iraq during the Gulf War era, the film is a haunting meditation on displacement, survival, and what it means to seek safety when the world as you knew it has ceased to exist.
