"With a $10,000 budget,
a million dollars worth of
determination and a great
sense of humour, three
Yellowknife filmmakers set
off on an incredible journey."
-Hot Docs Int. Film Festival
"Matt Frame plays the goof
ball guerrilla interviewer,
engaging in cheeky repartee
with Turkish rug merchants
and Kurdish refugees. But
behind the posture as a hick
from the Great White North
lurks a sharp political wit."
-Macleans Magazine
"Their goal is to document
regular people's opinions on the
impending war, and do so with
incredible wit and humour."
-Bergen Int. Film Festival
"Like all great Canadian humour
there's thought-provoking
content that raises the experience
to another level. Baghdad or Bust
won best documentary at the
Whistler Film Festival in 2003."
-Gimli Int. Film Festival
"Baghdad or Bust is a funny,
poignant piss take on the
war in Iraq."
-Aaron Spitzer, CBC TV
"It’s a fun, political primer for
those who skip the nightly news.
These improvised and often
indirectly political portraits save
the film from becoming yet
another pointless road trip
documentary."
-Mike Armitage, Chart Attack
:
"Baghdad or Bust is a satirical comedy that chronicles three
young Canadian film makers from Yellowknife as they travel
from Northern Canada to the Middle East just as the Iraq war
is erupting. As well as being very funny, it is also quite thought
provoking..." New York Times,
