Escape from Iraq

Escape from Iraq – A True Story of Survival and Freedom
Born in the shadow of war and tyranny, Salim is a gifted young Iraqi whose love for science and invention places him at odds with a brutal regime that sees intelligence as a threat. As Saddam Hussein's grip tightens on the nation, Salim's pursuit of knowledge turns into a dangerous game of survival.
From the lecture halls of Basra University to secret government laboratories in Baghdad, Salim navigates a double life—engineer by day, underground dissident by night. Caught between serving the state and resisting it, he must use his wits to outmaneuver powerful security forces that view him with suspicion.
Faced with arrest, torture, or worse, Salim chooses to flee. But escaping Iraq is no simple feat. With forged documents, coded communications, and a desperate prayer under the dome of Karbala, he begins a harrowing journey across borders and through shadows—seeking freedom not just for himself, but for his family.
Escape from Iraq is a powerful true story of courage, resistance, and the unbreakable human spirit in the face of tyranny. A story of a man who risked everything to live free.
