[edit] Information
Tells the extraordinary story of Saddam Hussein's farcical venture into the movie business, revealing for the first time on UK screens a film that has been lost in a garage in Surrey for the last 35 years. The tale involves notorious hell-raiser Oliver Reed, a lavish film set, debauchery, black humour and a terrified cast and crew trying desperately to get a film in the can as the Iran-Iraq War raged around them. The epic film, which had a multi-million-pound budget on a par with Return of the Jedi, was bankrolled by Saddam as he was determined to tell the birth story of modern Iraq.
