Baghdad Taxi

Baghdad is a city still suffering from the aftermath of the war. Fatima, a widow, has taken over her husband's car to work as a taxi driver to get her daughters through school.

She has been working to transfer the legal properties such as the car to her name, but it has taken a few years to get a court hearing.

As Fatima is balancing her responsibilities and rushing to the hearing she is approached by Raad, a charismatic local drug lord who has spotted a rare opportunity, to have a woman - Fatima, work for him as a delivery agent. Raad will not stop until he has achieved his goal of persuading Fatima to join him - whether with money, threats or worse. Can Fatima afford to reject the offer and find a way to make it to the court hearing in time?
