An Iraqi Refugee Recalls His Youth in the Shadow of War | PBS Short Docs

Описание: Official website: https://to.pbs.org/IL_2024 | #IndieLensPBS
Master oil painter Samir Khurshid examines his own tumultuous life growing up surrounded by death and chaos in war-torn Iraq. His densely layered work is heavily influenced by the cross-cultural chaos of living as an Iraqi refugee in the U.S., incorporating modern religion, ancient mythology, politics, and the weight of daily emotional life.
