A really interesting look at the secterian divide in Iraq.

Theres some graphic scenes of a dead body, but I didn't find it disturbing at all, since there are no close ups or anything.

The only disturbing thing is when they describe what happened to the guy, but nevertheless, be warned, if you have a weak stomach or anything you might wanna start viewing from the 2nd part on.
 
This is an awesome documentary that lays out the history, and how what was a benign difference between two religious sects blossomed into full scale sectarian war.

Very interesting, and really gets into the complexity of the situation.
 
I actually watched this documentary twice, once a few months back, and once last night (I wish there were other documentarys like this I could watch).

I didn't know half the stuff told here (I had heard a lot of it, but from suspect sources), and I pride myself on knowing whats what in that part of the world.

Very inforamative, highly recommended. :)
