Nine years since the fall of Saddam Hussein, Iraq’s national grid struggles to provide more than 6 hours of electricity a day - so a new form of entrepreneur has sprung up, the generator man. For a price, he'll fill the gap. The "Generator... Man" is Hadi, who owns two generators but finds that being on call for hundreds of people all desperate for power means that his life is no longer his own. He wanders the backstreets of Baghdad to talk to some of his customers for whom power – or the lack of it – has become the most important fact in their day-to-day-lives. Of the many ironies of post-conflict Iraq this is perhaps the starkest: how a country afloat on a sea of oil and in receipt of $5bn of US investment since 2003 cannot yet guarantee power for its people.
