"Iraqis in Multi-classes Exile" is documentary exploring the fragmented lives of Iraqi intellectuals exiled in Damascus, Syria, many of whom fled Iraq in the 1970s and 1980s under political and social duress. At its core, the film examines the psychological and existential burden of exile, especially through the lens of names and identity. Several of the film’s protagonists have lived under pseudonyms for decades, adopting fictional names to survive politically, socially, or artistically in a country that is not their own.
