Saddam Speaks Synopsis
On our way to meet Saddam, two years after the Persian Gulf War, we talked with Iraqi people - car salesmen, fish mongers, shopkeepers, doctors, and a group of Iraqi Jews inside their quiet synagogue. There might be a blockade, but the streets of Baghdad were jumping and gasoline ran like water. Meanwhile, the sight of children's dying bodies ravaged by war and hospitals unable to get badly needed medicines remind us of the devastation wrought on this area a short time ago. We may think the war is over, but in the everyday experiences of the Iraqi people, it isn't. Still, the Iraqi people lionize their leader.
This program culminates in our exclusive interview with Saddam Hussein. We discuss the Mother of all Battles, the suffering of his people, his dictatorship, and Israeli-Palestinian issues. Would Saddam wage war if he had it to do all over again? He'll tell you. Co-produced with RAI Television, Italy.
