“On That Day,” tells the story of a young Iraqi exile living in Iran. The film follows her as she travels to Iraq to testify about Saddams crimes against her family. The landscape is windswept and unforgiving, and her only companion is a lonely border guard, who is curious about why she wants to enter Iraq, wracked as it is by terrorist violence and the U.S. occupation. A minimalist but affecting musical score adds to the scene, as does the expansive countryside, all building up to a surprising end.
