As Iraqis emerge from the dark ages of Saddam Hussein's
dictatorship, the staggering dimensions of his cruel atrocities are
becoming known. Remembering Saddam is the story of seven Baghdad
merchants who incurred the wrath of Saddam. Nine years ago, after
spending a year in the infamous Abu Ghraib prison, their right
hands were surgically removed as part of an effort to blame small
businessmen for Iraq's collapsing economy. Each man tells his story
and friends, wives and children recall their experiences under the
former dictator. Join us for a look at this powerful and poignant
documentary, which as of now, no U.S. broadcast or cable network
has chosen to air.
