Long Days
In 1959 underground revolutionaries try to assassinate Prime Minister Abd al-Karim Kassem in Baghdad. News reports claim they have failed, and at first the revolutionaries lay low, but as the secret police continue to comb the neighborhoods with house-to-house searches, they flee to the countryside. Among those fleeing is Saddam Hussein, the future president of the republic. —Anonymous This is a propagandistic account of Saddam Hussein own life based on a thinly disguised autobiographical work of his early life, ghost written by Abdel Amir Mua'la. The film was a crucial part of the personal mythology Saddam constructed around his early life to build up the folklore that fuelled his strongman image. —Firman Hadi <firmanhadi@yahoo.com>
