The first film to emerge from Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein is set a few months before that event took place, as a handful of orphaned children try and survive in a Kurdish refugee camp. Just trying to get by is a challenge in a place without running water or electricity, and where almost everywhere in sight is riddled with landmines - but that is simply what they have to do. Turtles Can Fly is a fine film that keeps its attention squarely on the people so often caught in the middle of war and upheaval - children.
