		“Dear Alessandro: After months of silence, I’m writing you to tell you a secret. Yes, I have been in the Iraqi resistance.” Thus reads an email from Shadi, a young Syrian man, to a radio journalist in Naples. Other messages follow from similar young activists from the Middle East, who share their secrets, their memories, their dreams, eventually forming a portrait of a “windward” generation, blown between contradictions and hope in an unending state of war. With its hip soundtrack and mixed documentary-action style, this film rides the line between grassroots political engagement and art, to make an informative and entertaining comment on the forces of ist’imariyah—colonialism—in the Middle East.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/ED4E6F05-47D7-4EFC-9A45-442BA742807C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
