Movie Description
Remarkable, gritty, and unforgettable, this documentary--the winner of three major awards at Sundance--examines the realities of daily life in modern war-torn Iraq in three acts, spanning religious and ethnic differences. The first segment follows an orphaned 11-year-old apprenticed to a tough auto mechanic in the center of Baghdad; the second focuses on fundamentalist Shiite politics, their militia's enforcement of Islamic law, and their violent conflict with U.S. troops; and the third observes a Kurdish family and community beginning to explore its newfound freedoms and troubles.

Editorial Reviews
"The imagery is poetic and beautiful at times. Meanwhile, the film's haunting legacy is that people still are being pulled apart by religious differences and ethnicities."
Box Office - Richard Mowe (11/01/2006)

"Working with verite patience and no scripted narration, Longley looks and listens, with nonjudgmental sensitivity....The calm poetry of the cinematography offsets the mess of the politics to stunning effect." -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (11/17/2006)

4 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hat makes IRAQ IN FRAGMENTS so distinctive is its impressionistic and at times lyrical imagery."
Total Film - Tom Dawson (02/01/2007)

"[Longley] is already a virtuoso craftsman....The cumulative effect of his three interlinked studies of life in the new Iraq is quietly devastating."
Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (02/01/2007)

"Mr. Longley uses the grainy, smeared palette of digital video to create vivid, haunting tableaus of urban and rural Iraq."
New York Times - A. O. Scott (02/23/2007)
