100 Hours in Baghdad: Iraqi Street Food

Editor's Take

A hundred hours in Baghdad organize this feature, which uses food to explore a city at the heart of ancient Mesopotamia. From riverside masgouf to kubba, it treats the Iraqi capital's cuisine as a thread back to the region where cities first arose. The result doubles as a portrait of a place more often reported through conflict than daily life. It offers a rare, appetite-led view of a much-discussed city.

This feature-length documentary spends 100 hours eating through Baghdad, one of history's greatest cities and the heart of ancient Mesopotamia. It explores the Iraqi capital's extraordinary food culture, from riverside masgouf fish restaurants to kubba and the flavours of a region where civilization began. The journey doubles as a portrait of a resilient city. Immersive and appetizing, it is a rare taste of Iraqi cuisine. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
