Ten years after the US invasion toppled Saddam Hussein, VICE founder Suroosh Alvi returns to Baghdad to see what the war actually left behind. He walks the streets and neighborhoods with local Iraqis, sitting down for interviews that move past the security briefings and troop-withdrawal headlines that defined most American coverage of the war. The film follows Alvi as he checks in on the city's infrastructure, its sectarian fault lines, and the daily routines of people who lived through occupation, insurgency, and the uneasy peace that followed. There is no narrator smoothing over the gaps; Alvi's own reactions, as an outsider retracing a city he covered a decade earlier, become part of the record. The focus stays local and specific rather than geopolitical, favoring conversations with shopkeepers, families, and residents over officials or analysts. It is a snapshot of one Middle Eastern capital a decade on, not a verdict on the war itself.
