The year is 2007, four years after the fall of Saddam. A young man travels home to Baghdad, inspired and eager to fulfil his obligation to his family and friends who have been waiting many years for his return. <br /> <br /> On the journey we recount the trials and tribulations that faced the young man and his group of friends in their pursuit to make a dream come true. War, Love, God &amp; Madness recounts the heroic tales of a group of young men filled with hope to rebuild Iraq through hope and culture. In 2003 the air is filled with the possibility of change and new beginnings, after 25 years of tyranny under Saddam, whilst still the scent of gunpowder looms in the air. This is a story which shows us a side of Iraq we won't see on the news.

This remarkable debut film plunges the viewer into the madness of occupied Baghdad circa 2003. Two inmates from a mental institution suddenly find themselves out in the streets, negotiating local gangs, American soldiers, ruined buildings and falling bombs. An intense, vivid experience both on and off-screen, as the director and his crew were abducted and interrogated by both sides during the shooting of the film.
