"The Last Singer" for Nowness
(Creative Consultancy for Bravò NY)
The Last Singer takes director Ivan Olita to the marshes of Iraq, documenting the stoic life of Marsh Arab Abu Haider as he fights to keep a dying tradition alive. In the wake of the marshes destruction by Sadam Hussein in the 1990s, the Marsh Arab community has shrunk immensely, with many forced to leave for nearby towns or refugee camps.
