Memories from the North

Directed by Abdulmohsen Al-Mutairi

Thirty years after the 1991 Gulf War, a group of filmmakers who were children during the hostilities travel across Saudi Arabia, gathering stories that bring home the emotional and mental costs of living through that conflict. Thirteen stories mingle with snatches of old songs and some nostalgic images of the time, invoking memories of the good things of childhood as well as the horrors of war.
