Notes: | Originally conceived to be an American soldier in Iraq, this can be any soldier in the partnership that is involved in the occupation of Iraq: British, Canadian, etc. Reviewed here: http://www.straight.com/article-148353/walking-fish-festival | |||||
Synopsis: | An American soldier in Iraq goes over there intending not to get to know the Iraqi people - they are just a "Sea of moustaches" as far as he is concerned. He wants to know no one: the face no names, especially "no eyes". He wants no emotional involvement - just wants to do his job and go home. But on the streets of Baghdad, he meets a young Iraqi kid - about 11 years old - who reminds him of the kids at home. He starts to look forward to seeing this kid. He meets the kid's family against all his efforts, and soon he has people shouting hello to him on the street. He loses his fear, becomes invested in the population, finds happiness in knowing the people, until an explosion in the market brings him back to the cold realities of his world. In a letter home to his girlfriend he tells the story of how he became known in Iraq as "Aslam". | |||||
