== Biography ==
Armand Nassery is an independent filmmaker and Iraqi-American author. Armand was born near the Iraqi province of Dhi-Qar; one of eleven children. His family moved to the capital, Baghdad, when he was young in search of an improved life. He spent his early years of school reading history, literature, poetry and was fascinated with his English language class. In the early eighties, Armand’s family was forced to move back south because of being labeled disloyal to the ruling Ba'ath Party. His family soon settled in a small southern town, which became the setting of his novel. In high school Armand joined the school theater group. He wrote and directed most of the plays with the help of one of his brothers. In college, Armand met some students who opposed the oppressive dictatorship of Saddam Hussein; some of the students were members of opposition parties. The ruthless Iraqi secret police Al-Amen arrested him on the final day of his last year. The charges were for writing poetry that was considered disrespectful to the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. This charge held the penalty of death. Armand spent two months in the dim airless Al-Amen dungeons enduring continuous torture and interrogation. His conditions for release were that he would never again write poetry or join any forbidden political party. Armand and his brothers joined the uprising against the regime of Saddam Hussein in March 1991 after the Gulf War. In this ill fated armed struggle for freedom he frequently stared death in the face. When the last southern town fell to the brutal suppressive Ba’ath forces Armand fled to avoid certain torture and death. He was tried and sentenced in absentia. The sentence was death. He spent three grueling days in the desert of Iraq and was able to reach Saudi Arabia with the aid of the American 82nd Airborne Soldiers. Upon reaching Saudi Arabia the Americans were required to turn him over to the authorities of Saudi Arabia. He was again imprisoned and spent six months being tortured for crossing the borders illegally. Then in 1992 Armand was able to immigrate to the safety of the United States. He has spent the last two decades living in California and the Midwest. Many of his personal experiences have been the inspiration in his fictional novel ‘Where Wolves Dream’. Dream.
