Session 5   Speakers

Mr. Hussam Hadi

Executive Producer,
Magic Carpet for Media Production and Distribution (Iraq, temporarily located in Amman, Jordan).
In 2000, Mr. Hadi left Iraq to work as a film animator and editor in Jordan to avoid an order to work for the Ministry of Youth and Sport under the son of Saddam Hussein. With the fall of the Saddam Regime, Mr. Hadi returned to Iraq where he established the Spacetoon Kids TV office in Baghdad. Despite his successes, in 2006, he was forced to flee again, after being held hostage by gunmen while hi offices were looted. Mr. Hadi lives in Jordan with his family, and continues his work as a media producer focusing on humanitarian, educational and peace education.
