James Moore talks with Usama Alshaibi about his film NICE BOMBS, as well as the film he is currently working on with the working title, An American Arab.

Usama Alshaibi was born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1969 and spent his formative years living between the United States and the Middle East. His work has been screened at numerous film festivals and venues across the globe. In early 2004 Usama and his wife returned to his birthplace in Iraq to shoot his first feature documentary titled Nice Bombs. The documentary had a theatrical release in 2007 and a broadcast premiere on the Sundance Channel in March 2008.

"...a surprisingly warm first-person video diary….the footage has been edited with grace and tact."  --Chicago Tribune
