The Wolf of Baghdad

UK 2020 | 40 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

The Wolf of Baghdad is a unique audio-visual journey through a Jewish family's bittersweet memories of their lost Iraqi homeland. In audiovisual format, the story comes to life panel by panel as a motion comic (animated slideshow), with its own soundtrack of Judeo-Arabic and Iraqi music. A graphic memoir of a lost homeland by an author homesick for a home she has never visited.
