Mouthwash, is a 2014 Saudi movie, directed by Reman Sadani. with a runtime of 10 minutes.
Mouthwash is a powerful short documentary filmed through the lens of a BlackBerry phone, capturing the story of Mosul during the rise of ISIS. The film follows an Iraqi family living in York, England, as they exchange voice notes with their relatives trapped in Mosul between June and September 2014. As both families struggle to make sense of rapidly unfolding and deeply unsettling political events, the film becomes an intimate record of fear, distance, and helplessness — a raw human document of how war reaches into diaspora homes, carried through the fragile medium of a voice message.
