Movies filmed in Baghdad
- About Baghdad 2004

Filming locations inside Baghdad
3 places inside Baghdad, each with a page of their own. Every production shot at them is already listed above, because Wikidata records them against Baghdad too.
Set here
Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood: a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Baghdad, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
