Description
Six months in Iraq, culminating in the national election on January 30, 2005. We watch logistic preparations for the election, together with UN, US, Australian, and local personnel unsure if the election will be held as scheduled, bracing for violence and for world attention. We in addition cut back and forth to Dr. Riyadh, a Sunni physician who practices at the Adhamiya Free Clinic and prays at the Abu Hanifa Mosque. He's an Iraqi Islamic Party candidate for the Baghdad Provincial Council; he visits Abu Ghraib prison and speaks out. We meet his wife and daughters: the family is cheerful, ironic, and droll. Will his party participate in the elections? Will he vote? Is his family safe?
