PLOT
Heavy Metal in Baghdad is a documentary feature film that follows the Iraqi
heavy metal band Acrassicauda (Latin for a deadly black scorpion native to
Iraq) from the fall of Saddam Hussein to their escape from Iraq. The band
members - Firas (bass), Tony (lead guitar), Marwan (drums) and Faisal (lead
vocals and rhythm guitar) - were bred on American heavy metal albums, learning
to speak English by listening to Slayer, Metallica and Slipknot. Playing heavy
metal in a Muslim country has always been a difficult (if not impossible)
proposition, but, after Saddam s regime was toppled, there was a brief moment
for the band in which real freedom seemed possible. That hope was quickly
dashed as their country fell into a bloody insurgency.
