Movies filmed in Baghdad

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Baghdad as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

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.
