Operation Filmmaker will be broadcast on PBS on Independent Lens in their 2008-2009 season
Do-gooder intentions go disastrously wrong when Hollywood gives a young Iraqi film student the chance of a lifetime. Operation Filmmaker tells the fascinating and riveting story of Muthana Mohmed's odyssey in the West, with uncanny parallels to America's recent misadventures abroad.
"Fascinatingly complicated ... encapsulates the entire situation between America and Iraq."
— Wesley Morris, The Boston Globe
