The play is about the role of the Christians in supporting the right against the falsehood and their standing with the Muslims against injustice to support the right .The Ministry of Youth and Sport sponsored this work as a support for scientific youth and embracing them in supporting the scientific process and to support student youth activities. More than 100 specialists among boy and girl students and professors have co-operated .The participants showed their deep happiness of this great work which the students considered a golden opportunity to master the media work. The student Ahmed Alwan, from the college of mass media and is the production director of the play , has expressed that the play represents a dream as long as I wish that I work in such a work since I entered the university first I didn’t get the chance over the past years to participate in a huge work like this play noting that I with my colleagues looking for the opportunity and counting the hours for the date of the play training with the director of the play from whom we learn a lot we didn’t know about them ,but we didn’t hear about them. Ahmed went on stating that the period we have entered the university ,unfortunately ,was tragic ,being from a generation after the second millennium who faced a blockade and occupation and deprived of many things in the field of media or theatre and cinema .I did not enter any play during my life and not enter the cinema only once outside Iraq. Thank God today my colleagues and I are living unreadable moments with this play. I’d like to add that I’m one of the students of province and live in a dormitory and our great enthusiasm for the play make us do training on the roof of the dormitory with my colleagues.

Aspects of the students who need self-confidence through practical experience or through laboratory applications to enter the professional work or education and that by standing in front of the audience face to face and the work holds a national character of the unity of Iraq through fraternal unity where the message of the work is brotherhood and solidarity. Thank God there are very effective participations and responses in the university from the president of the university and the administrative assistant Dr.Bahaa’ Toma and Mr. Abdulkareem Muneer the manager of the office of the president of the university where we found unlimited support and response to the creative activities and here I took the opportunity to express my appreciation to them and to the Ministry of Youth and Sport which provided its potentials to make this work successful ,which we hope to achieve additional gain for our great university and beloved country.
