On the night of the opening, while volunteering to guard the ancient mosque in Kadhimiya, Ra'ad is shot and killed by an American patrol.

There are two characters in The Cruise, director Bennett Miller's documentary debut: tour guide Timothy Levitch and New York, the city that barely contains his seemingly-boundless energy. This is not, however, a New York that can be found anywhere but on the screen of this black-and-white motion picture. It is a stylized, surreal window onto the city as Levitch sees it - a place where the past and the present collide, where lore is more important than historical accuracy, and where sexual gratification can be obtained by gazing at the ornate side of a building.
