A diverse group of Iraqi students unite through hip hop, jazz, orchestra, and Broadway at an American arts academy in Iraqi Kurdistan. Arabs and Kurds, Christians and Muslims, Americans and Iraqis, everyone must work together to prepare for the big show. Along the way, cultures collide, egos clash, dreams come true, and the viewer is offered a candid and revealing look at the troubles and triumphs of this life-changing event.
Filmed in the homes, classrooms, dormitories, and ancient cities of Iraqs Kurdistan Region, CAMP UNITY is a surprisingly intimate documentary that celebrates the ability of personal experiences to bridge cultural divides.

CAMP UNITY is a U.S.-Iraqi Kurdistan co-production, shot in High Definition (HD) video in English, Arabic and Kurdish with English subtitles and runs approximately 83 minutes.
