Armide
Set in the year 2019, ARMIDE, predicts a dynamic drama cast in post-war Iraq. In a transformed political and social landscape, a fragile co-existence exists between an integrated American presence, the InnerAmerican Republic led by Renaud, and the Iraqi people. As the Iraqi society is exasperated with the ineffectiveness of current politicians, Armide has emerged as a leader among the people. Armide struggles with ambition, duties, a growing love for Renaud. a driving hope for her country, and deeper understanding of her culture.
