In the organizer's words:

IMMORTALS - BAGHDAD'S YOUTH RAISE THEIR VOICES
Arabic original version with German and English subtitles

While the Middle East is once again at the center of global conflicts, "Immortals" tells the story of a young generation fighting for self-determination, dignity, feminism and their future. The multi-award-winning documentary was shown at CPH:DOX, Hot Docs, the Locarno Film Festival and DOK.fest Munich, among others, and was awarded the Prix de Soleure and Best Documentary at the Raindance Film Festival.
After years of war, occupation and political violence, "Immortals" follows two young people in Baghdad in the aftermath of the "October Revolution" of 2019: Milo, a courageous feminist who pretends to be a man in order to fight for freedom, and Khalili, a filmmaker who documents the protests with his camera. Between hope and repression, they become the voices of a new generation fighting for freedom, self-determination and feminist perspectives - and for the right to shape their own future.
