Everything you always wanted to know about Saddam Hussein (but were afraid to ask), “Uncle Saddam” is Joel Soler’s laugh-along, surrealistic portrait of the flamboyant Iraqi leader in the guise of a documentary. A natural for festivals and cable but not likely to bully its way into many regular theatrical engagements.
Uncle Saddam gives a feel for what it was like to be around the man and what sort of a man Saddam Hussein was, what he did inside the unfair system of dictatorship with checks and balances absent. This documentary doesn’t concentrate a lot on events and history, more on people and places.
“Uncle Saddam” certainly rates as a worthwhile viewing experience.
Note: This movie is Long, 1 Hour, High speed connection recommended.
