Film making - not among most people's guesses for obvious talents of a brutally sectarian group of militias. However, they claim to have won awards for their documentary film about the origins of الحشد/Popular Mobilization Forces.
Al-Jazeera
reported on the story yesterday, following up on
a claim from the PMF's website announcing that they won the "Creativity Appreciation Award" for their documentary film explaining the origins and motivating factors behind the formation of the PMF. The prize was awarded at the Cairo Art & Media Contest (مونديال القاهرة للفن والاعلام), which is sponsored by the Arab League. The PMF also claim to have won a vaguely-worded "First Prize" award.
Of note is that the PMF's documentary also claims to expose "countries support Daesh... like those which have facilitated border crossings for the group."
