Overview

The Iraqi Superman is a powerful dramatic film centered on a tormented young Iraqi man who devises an ingenious plan to rescue his father from the notorious Abu Ghraib prison. Driven by love and desperation, his scheme brings him face to face with a reality far darker than anything he imagined — the brutal mistreatment and torture of prisoners behind those walls. What he discovers shatters his hopes for a brighter future and forces him to reckon with the true cost of the occupation. A raw, deeply human film that bears witness to the psychological and physical violence of Abu Ghraib, The Iraqi Superman is as much a story of grief and disillusionment as it is of courage and love.
