Featuring a unique collection of archival images, home movies and family photographs from Iraq, Baghdad Twist pulls back the curtain on Iraq’s once thriving Jewish community. Baghdad-born filmmaker Joe Balass takes us on a journey through the fragmented memories of an Arab exile. “When I came across the home movies, that was a whole other layer of connection. The dancing really made a connection between the Arab world and the western world” (Joe Balass).
