Lamia, a young girl from Iraq’s Mesopotamian Marshes, is chosen to bake The President’s Cake, to celebrating Saddam Hussein’s birthday, which she must do or face the consequences.
A moving portrait of love, friendship and the resilience of a people caught between authoritarian rule and injudicious US imperialism.
‘The President’s Cake review – toughly revealing story of kid on a baking mission for Saddam Hussein’s birthday’ – The Guardian ★★★★☆
‘The President’s Cake is notable for its unvarnished affecting performance; its digitally shot yet eerily film-like cinematography, which packs a mural’s worth of information into deep-focus, very wide frames with rounded edges.’ – RogerEbert ★★★⯪
