Blasims Bio
Blasim is a well-known and established film director and writer. He was born in Iraq in 1973, and currently, he is a Finland citizen. Becoming a citizen of Finland was not optional as he arrived in the country in 2004 as a refugee from Iraq. In Iraq, he pushed for critical issues in the society in terms of social, economic, and political scope. He also advocated for the rights of the people, and as a result, he had to flee the country and enter his new home, Finland (Bahoora, 191). Throughout his life, Blasim has invested in short films and stories. He has done numerous stories in Arabic, and some of his work has been translated into English to serve a bigger audience.
Blasim Films and Stories
Just like any established film director and writer, Blasim possesses a lot of work, including The Wounded Camera, Juuret, The Green Zone Rabbit, and Diving into Existing, among others. In The Green Zone Rabbit, Blasim exposes the human violence present in Iraq graphically and sensationally. The story is about his two brothers, who are subjected to torture and inhumane treatment. The militias drill holes into the bodies of these two individuals, and later cut off their heads (Blasim & Wright, 43).
