The narrative in Our River…Our Sky (aka Kulshi Makoo in Arabic) is set against a background of sectarian violence in the last week of 2006, between Christmas and the Adha Eid. It tells the stories of ordinary Iraqis trying to live their everyday lives in Baghdad, the capital; despite unpredictable violent events, which put them in peril. Sara, a single mother and novelist, shocked into silence by the surrounding violence, has been unable to write one word of fiction. Shortly before the New Year, following unexpected news, Sara and her neighbors brace themselves for an uncertain future while trying to sustain a fragile sense of hope.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) [An] ambitious, multi-stranded drama... Rated: 3/5 Oct 22, 2023 Full Review Hugh Barnes The Arts Desk Pachachi captures the atmosphere of Baghdad, and her large cast of actors excels in the naturalistic mode of a film beautifully shot in widescreen by Jonathan Bloom. Rated: 3/5 Oct 24, 2023 Full Review Sarah Manvel Critic's Notebook This is the exact opposite of most modern Hollywood films, which are a celebration of death. “Our River . . . Our Sky”’s focus is on life, in all its imperfect, painful, hysterical, messy, complicated, upsetting glory. Nov 12, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
