"This movie is not just my dream it is a dream for all Iraqi people," stated filmmaker Hayder Daffar before a packed theater in Austin, Texas. His first week in America and Daffar had already crossed over ten states on the four day road trip out to the World Premiere of his first feature documentary, The Dreams of Sparrows. Joining Hayder on this rugged screening tour were all of the American filmmakers who had for the past two years donated their time and energy to make this dream - an independent Iraqi film production company - come true.
