Institute History
Description
Um-Hussein intertwines the parallel stories of family and freedom, through the emotional and physical journeys of a mother and son set between the North (Kurdistan) and the South of Iraq. Despite the distance between them, expressed through the effects of war on both the soldier and those he has left behind, we see amongst the devastation of the tragedy that surrounds them, that hope may become the only comfort in their hours of need.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
