MY COUNTRY, MY COUNTRY follows the story of Dr. Riyadh, an Iraqi medical doctor, and Sunni candidate in Iraq's January 2005 elections. Critical of the U.S. occupation, Dr. Riyadh is equally passionate about the need to establish democracy in Iraq. Yet all around him, Dr. Riyadh sees only chaos, as his waiting room fills each day with patients showing the effects of the on-going violence.

As Election Day approaches, MY COUNTRY, MY COUNTRY reveals the agonizing predicament of one man caught in the contradictions of the US occupation of Iraq and its project to implement democracy in the Middle East.
