Saddam 17 is a short comedy about the unrelenting nature of America’s consumer/corporate culture. Out of work since the capture of Saddam Hussein, Saddam 17 moves to Los Angeles in search of the American Dream. He checks into the depressing Hotel America and quickly begins to realize that the America he has heard of has little to do with the real America.

Director: Ross Venokur
