Watch trailerSynopsis
In My Mother's Arms follows several children who live and study together in one room of a small rented house — forgotten children whose parents have been killed or kidnapped. They have no one to support them but Husham, a student who works tirelessly to protect them from the dangers of the streets of Baghdad. Now the landlord wants them out, and the only sanctuary these children have ever known is about to be lost. Filmed in Baghdad in 2010.
