[lbo-talk] Turtles Can Fly

[Kevin Dean]

Has anyone seen the movie "Turtles Can Fly"?  It's an older 
film--2004--by Kurdish  director Bahman Ghobadi about children living in 
a  refugee camp along the Iraq-Turkey border on the eve of the US 
invasion of Iraq.  If you haven't seen it, I would STRONGLY recommend 
it.  It was one of the greatest pieces of film I have seen in a long 
time.  It definitely doesn't have a fairy tale ending.

Here's a good review:

I cannot get this movie out of my head.
