Since the fall of Saddam Hussein, Iraq has been a landscape of bloodshed and chaos. Yet in the northern region of Kurdistan, people now live stable lives. Iraqi Kurdistan takes us into daily life there, and celebrates the beauty of peace. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/publication/iraqi-kurdistan
The introduction of this video is very nice and appealing. The music is very nice as well, but it does not relate to the events and the photos. In addition to that, the video movements and transition became too fast after the first minute. The music started overpowering the photos that the viewer starts to concentrate on the music more than the photos. It is a very busy video that keeps you trying to focus on both but it is too fast.
I am from Iraq and I know that this music does not match with the events of most of the photos. However, for non-Iraqi people, it might make sense the way the people move to the music. But for Iraqi people who know how to dance to this kind of music, it does not make sense.
The video is very long. The photographer could have added more texts and captions to add to the explanation. I think that the photographer was very lucky to get access to many of these places portrayed in the photos. For example, the photos of the president, ministers, and the army.
