Letters from Baghdad

Letters from Baghdad is a documentary that tells the story of Gertrude Bell, a British adventurer, archaeologist, and political powerhouse who played a pivotal role in shaping the modern Middle East after World War I. Using never-seen-before footage and told entirely through her own letters, diaries, and official documents, the film chronicles Bell's extraordinary journey into the uncharted Arabian desert and the inner sanctum of British colonial power. Executive produced by Tilda Swinton, the film offers a unique perspective on both a remarkable woman and the tangled history of Iraq, with echoes that still resonate today.
