One woman, nine stories.

NINE PARTS brings to life the stories of Iraqi women – ordinary and extraordinary – in a new film adaptation of the internationally acclaimed solo-show.

Set in Michigan at the height of the pandemic, an Iraqi American torn by her father’s death – and by a divided nation – attempts to grieve at the site of the oldest Iraqi church in North America. What starts in isolation becomes communal as Iraqi women come to and through her with personal stories of love and resilience.

A first of-its-kind bridge between the Midwest and the Middle East, NINE PARTS offers a unique celebration of the Iraqi female experience.
