In the news every day the catastrophic war on Iraq is superficially being played out. 9 Parts of Desire lifts the veil, giving us an intimate look at nine vastly different Iraqi women who struggle not only with the burden of tradition, but also with the anguish of war and the guilt of survival. A timely meditation on the ancient, the modern and the feminine in a country battered by war.
