Candles On Baghdad’s Pavements
 
One night. One explosion. 
Countless lives forever changed.
Baghdad, 2016. Days before Eid, the Karrada district pulses with defiance. Cafés spill into the streets, laughter rises above the chaos, and thousands chase fleeting moments of joy in a city long shaped by fear.
None of them know they are already living their final hours.
Then, just after midnight, the attack comes.
Based on real events,  Candles on Baghdad’s Pavements 
traces the victims’ final hours before the blast,  and the catastrophic explosion that left
an unhealed scar on the city.
