پاچه‌چي، ميسون.

Directed, produced and edited by Maysoon Pachachi.

In Arabic with English subtitles.

"Not long after the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, filmmaker Maysoon Pachachi returns to her home city of Baghdad after 35 years. She accompanies her father, 80-year-old Adnan Pachachi, who is returning to head the committee responsible for drafting Iraq's temporary constitution and Bill of Rights. We follow his tortuous process, with its arguments over wording changes demanded by US leaders in Washington and compromises made to satisfy Iraqi sectarian interests. Moving between the political sphere and everyday life on the streets, Return to the land of wonders offers a unique glimpse into the resilience of the Iraqi people as they struggle to sustain their lives without succumbing to despair and defeat."

"Born in 1923, Adnan Pachachi served as Iraqi Foreign Mininster in 1966-67 and ambassador to the UN from 1959-65 and 1967-68. Pachachi was based in Abu Dhabi, UAE until 2003, where he had acted as an advisor to Shaykh Zayyid. Pachachi returened to the AUE after Iraq's Governing Council was dissolved on June 1, 2004."
