"Um Abdullah" is a 10 minute animated documentary short film about an Iraqi refugee family living in Jordan. The film consists of personal interviews with a 28 year-old single mother, Um Abdullah and her five children dealing with the collateral effects of the ongoing conflicts in Iraq. Composed of live-action and animation, this film shows the intense internal states of mind that Iraqi refugees must now endure. Through the media, American audiences are fed images coming from the war front in Iraq, yet none paint a picture of what ordinary life is for an Iraqi. The film is a portrait of Um Abdullah through her children’s drawings, hopes, and imaginations.
