Lies in heavy metal.

Heavy Metal in Baghdad is a feature film documentary that follows the Iraqi heavy metal band Acrassicauda from the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 to the present day. Playing heavy metal in a Muslim country has always been a difficult (if not impossible) proposition but after Saddam’s regime was toppled, there was a brief moment for the band in which real freedom seemed possible. That hope was quickly dashed as their country fell into a bloody insurgency. From 2004-2007, Iraq disintegrated around them while Acrassicauda struggled to stay together and stay alive, always refusing to let their heavy metal dreams die. Their story echoes the unspoken hopes of an entire generation of young Iraqis.

Heads will be banged. Soon enough times where people kill each other over their religious beliefs will be long forgotten and replaced with arguing over what the next sub-sub-sub-genre of metal should be. Two thousand years from now, the middle east will be following the ten holy commandments of Bruce Dickinson

Maybe the world would be a better place if people drove around with WWDKD bumper stickers.
