Baghdad or Bust was a small budget documentary filmed in Canada, Turkey, Kurdistan, Iraq, Israel, West Bank, Jordan, and Washington, D.C., during the US-led 2003 invasion of Iraq. This film received several awards, including Best Documentary at the 2003 Whistler Film Festival.[2] Baghdad or Bust is described as "a funny, poignant piss-take on the war in Iraq, chronicling the misadventures of Gordon and two fellow Yellowknifers, director Matt Frame and cameraman Adam Bowick, as they meander through the Middle East during the U.S. invasion, interviewing such stranger-than-fictional characters as a piratical Kurd and a Turkish rug-monger with a cat named Bush."[3]
