Islam Al-Awadi

Based on Dexter Filkins’ resonant New Yorker article of the same name, about Marine Lu Lobello, haunted by memories of a deadly incident in Baghdad, whose journey of guilt and remorse leads him to reach out to Nora, the sole surviving member of the family he believes he may have harmed.
