A New Face to the Kurdish Question in Iraq

Mel and I watched Turtles Can Fly, a joint Iranian/Iraqi-made film about a cadre of refugee orphans living on the Turkish-Iraqi border who eke out a living defusing mines which they then sell to arms dealers. Actually, the movie was about so much more than that; if you're interested in knowing more, I'll let Roger Ebert fill you in.

Excellent acting. Difficult to watch. I recommend seeing it. Four stars.
