War
Documentary examining the realities of war and life under Isis, with unique personal archive from civilians and soldiers from both sides of the conflict. As war began, many Iraqis were hopeful. Ahmed Al Bashir, now a renowned comedian, remembers practising his English with US troops before the realities of occupation became clear. Waleed Nesyif was 18 when George Bush gave Saddam Hussein just 48 hours to leave Iraq. He was, like many Iraqi teenagers at that time, infatuated by the West. But while many of his generation grew up enjoying songs by the Backstreet Boys, Waleed formed Iraq's first heavy metal band. Narrated by Andy Serkis.

Insurgency
A look at the impact of the insurgency from the perspectives of American soldier Lt Col Nate Sassaman and Baghdadi Alaa Adel, who was 12 when she suffered life-changing injuries. Unprepared for the hostile environment he found himself in, Sassaman was pushed to the very darkest regions of his psyche. Alaa was hit in the face by shrapnel from one of the first roadside bombs planted by insurgents and intended for American forces. Looking back at that time, both question the benefits of the war in Iraq.
