Lateif Jorephani, a British-Iraqi film producer talks about his work on the troubled epic Clash of Loyalties. Commissioned by Saddam Hussein in the early 1980s - not long after he came to power - the film was intended to be a big budget, Hollywood style retelling of the origins of modern Iraq. It starred the infamous Oliver Reed and hundreds of cast and crew were transported to Baghdad. However, just weeks after filming began, war broke out between Iraq and Iran. Lateif recalls what went on behind the scenes.
