Iraqi-born Canadian filmmaker Joe Balass's Baghdad Twist is a visual memoir of one family's life in Iraq before escaping to a new home in Canada in 1970. Featuring archival images, home movies, and family photographs from Baghdad, the film pulls back the curtain on Iraq's once thriving Jewish community, its perilous final years, and its remarkable ability to find solace in the shadow of fear.
