Where to Watch Airlift
- Rafi SyedMarch 16, 2025As someone who just barely escaped the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, this movie was poignant and made me feel both nostalgic and sad. It's nice to see it from the point of view of the Indian diaspora who were basically ignored until their governments sent planes to help them. My American and British teachers were not so lucky, they were taken hostage to Bagdad.
