About The Road to Nasiriyah

In the wake of the 2003 Iraq war, hundreds of archaeological sites in southern Iraq were destroyed by looting.  The Road to Nasiriyah is the passionate journey of two American filmmakers, Micah Garen and Marie-Helene Carleton, an Iraqi archaeologist, Abdul-Amir Hamdani, and an interpreter, Amir Doshi, who document the story.  They risk everything in an effort to stop the looting, but their journey takes an unexpected turn when Micah and Amir are kidnapped.
