On the Banks of the Tigris
Discover this hidden story of Iraqi music. Majid Shokor, an Iraqi-Australian from a Muslim background, is on a quest to reveal the untold Jewish role in popular Iraqi music. The film follows Majid’s bold journey from Australia to Israel, Europe and Iraq, to meet exiled, uncredited Iraqi Jewish musicians who left their music behind when they fled Iraq. They unite in a concert; where music and culture transcend religion and politics.
Documentary, Australia, 2015, 79 min. English, Arabic w/ English Subtitles.
Don’t be left wanting more! Join us after the film for a live concert with The Qadim Ensemble, with music from the Middle East, including Iraqi songs.
A reception of Iraqi sweets and mint tea by the Sonoma Wine Shop will follow the concert in the theater lobby.
