Jiyan is the first and only narrative film made about the chemical attack on Halabja. The film takes place five years after the attack when ex-patriot, Diyari, returns from the USA to build an orphanage. He meets a colorful bunch of townspeople who, despite their bruises, struggle to rebuild their town and along with it, their dreams for a better future.























As described by numerous critics, Jiyan is a sweet, memorable and life-affirming film that will make you laugh and cry at the same time. Ratings: Four Stars by the Guardian, The Observer and BBC World.
