September. Fata Morgana by Thomas Lehr

Thomas Lehr. It aims to compare the forms of pain and loss in a german
family in the USA and an iraqi family during the 9/11 and the war in Iraq.
It examines further the common consequences of loosing close family
members with no political interests and how this loss can seed a new era of
understanding and enabling the dialogue between opposing cultures. And
this dialogue leads to re-evaluate the Theory „Clash of Civilisations“ by
