The Countdown
The Countdown
A film released in 2000, The Countdown runs 1h 30m and comes from Iraq. Soap2Day lists it with Mohamed Shukri Jameel directing and Abdul Jabbar Al-Sharqawi and Riad Shahid in the cast. The film was not permitted to be screened, similar to another Iraqi film, Hafr al-Batin. Some said the ban was because the film did not appeal to President Saddam Hussein, while others argued it was due to the film’s criticism of the dictatorial regime. The former explanation is considered more likely.
