’Camel’ addresses the violent and urgent nature of the conflict in Iraq, in particular the vast differences in culture, religion, history and
lifestyle between the Middle East and the West.
The head of a slain camel has very different meanings in the two cultures, and the interpretations range from holy sacrifice to unreasonable killing, from mythical to ridiculous,
and from ritual to chaotic;
yet the underlying sentiment (in my view) is the one of sadness and waste. I leave the conclusion to the viewer.
