Does anyone have the video of saddam calling people out in the auditorium on July 22, 1979?

Question

I was told that it was videotaped (in black and white), and i saw a 5-6 minute part of it on YouTube as a part of a documentary, but he had only called out about 4 or 5 people. Obviously there were many more, b/c as to my knowledge over 60 people were told to get out.

Someone help me please???

Answer 1

I've seen more of it than the documentary shows, but it was in a class on Middle East politics.  It was memorable to me because of the attitude of Saddam.  He behaved as if he was truly sad to have to call out the names of people who had been his friends.  He even plays to the camera by taking out a hankerchief and dabbing at his eyes.  It's sickening.

I would imagine that, like my professor, many professors would have that footage.  You may want to start there.
