House Of Saddam S01E01 WS PDTV XviD-AFFiNiTY 31.07.2008 20:32 by Mr. X Well, this is a new BBC-2 Drama/HBO-films titled ‘House of Saddam’. The focus of the series is of course Saddam Hussein & his closest inner circle. The series is produced in four parts 60 minutes each. Episode one, Saddam’s rise to power and his elimination of political opposition (sounds like a Hitler copy-cat). Audio bitrate at 80 is a little pathetic & low quality but does the job. The show has very high production values. Does seem to be a little bit biased propag&a, but it’s more subtle and does not detract from it being a well made series.
1979: a vibrant party is in full swing at the palatial residence of deputy president Saddam Hussein. Behind closed doors, momentous decisions are made by Saddam’s inner circle. This close band of family and friends, fiercely loyal, have serious concerns about the increasing power of Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini. When al-Bakr joins the party, he is taken aside & told he will be ousted & replaced with Hussein. The die is cast. A series of brutal murders follows as Saddam purges the Iraqi regime of opposition. At the al-Khuld lecture theatre, in front of the Ba’ath Party, he reads out a list of ‘traitors’ who are taken outside and shot. He turns on his close friend Adnan Hamdani - shooting him at point-blank range. When Saddam’s wife, Sajida, questions his actions she is told that a man who can kill his best friend has no weakness. In Baghdad, Iranian agents are waging a suicide bombing campaign. Saddam calls his council around him, deciding the only option is war with Iran. His mother, Subha, is worried. Saddam has only invited half of the family. The al-Majids are there, but where are her family, the Ibrahims? Saddam’s brother Barzan has been cut out of the decision-making process. The war is not straightforward, and there are many casualties on the battlefield. With the country’s fortunes at an all-time low, Saddam visits the town of Dujail to rally the people. On leaving, his convoy comes under fire from dissidents & he is nearly killed. He insists on returning to speak again, insisting terrorists will not dim his spirit. Back in Baghdad, Saddam turns on Barzan and banishes him from Iraq. The president’s power is at an all-time high. 640×352 25 - vbr mp3 80k - 700MB Search Torrent - Search Usenet |
