Trying to locate a rare 2003 documentary: 'Our Friend Saddam' (alternative title: 'Saddam's Friends')

 

Here is the info on the film to verify it:

It is one of the greatest documentaries I have ever seen in my life. I used to have it on VHS many years ago. Been trying DESPERATELY to locate an online version, as I have unfortunately lost my precious VHS copy.

 

Does anyone have a link? Would be so appreciated, you have no idea.

 

Cheers.

After a brief search I could find two videos, English version in a really crappy quality and a much better version recorded from french ARTE tv channel.

You have no idea how grateful I am. Thank you so much!! (I don't even care about the quality) on this one: https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2003/03/17/15842731.php

 

As for the high quality version you mentioned, I searched the site you mentioned ( https://www.arte.tv/en/ ) but no luck. Am I looking on the right one? Or did you mean somewhere else. Thanks in advance. You're a legend.

I found the french version on p2p network, it's around 528MB in size. I can upload it to wetransfer and send you the link if you want? It'll take a bit because of my slow upload speed.

It's okay mate. I'm actually happy with the current version. It was mostly about the information in the documentary for me, rather than the quality. Save your data. You've already helped me so much. Cheers!

It's not about data, slow upload speed is the problem. ;-) Anyway, here it is if you want it.  https://we.tl/t-gaFlEFoZ2t
