Great Video! I recognize some of the places, but not others. Can you provide some details on the places that are shown, or an idea of which provinces/cities they're located in?

Lauren I can't tell where all the pictures are from. Most of the urban ones are from Baghdad however like the opening shot of Tahrir Square. The nature shots look like they're from parts of Kurdistan. There are also a few scenes of Babil as well.
