Synopsis

With an unflinching eye, powerfully candid dialogue and a touch of humor, The Unreturned brings us into the lives of five Iraqis from diverse ethnicities and religions displaced by the ongoing war in their country. Caught in the midst of violence, endless bureaucracy, dwindling life savings, and forced idleness, these Iraqis nevertheless radiate vitality, warmth and hope. The Unreturned intercuts between the daily struggles of these refugees and their recollections of life in Iraq before and after the US-led invasion of 2003 to provide a glimpse through the eyes of the individuals most affected by the conflict.
