Heavy Metal in Baghdad is a different kind of documentary from the other two. It's not particularly political, doesn't ask the viewer to take a side in terms of what is happening in the war, or anything like that. It's just sort of a 'slice of life' from these heavy metal fans/musicians, who just happen to be living in a war zone while trying to make the music they love -- music that is illegal to play in quite a few of the countries that surround Iraq, making the idea of going on tour in the area sort of tricky. ;-)
