Summary

Historian and presenter Michael Wood pieces together evidence of the systematic destruction by the Iraqi government of the Shia Marsh Arabs. The film depicts the manner in which the Shia and the Kurds in northern Iraq were encouraged by the West to rise up against Saddam's regime at the end of the Gulf War. In retaliation, more than 300,000 Shia are believed to have been killed, risking the ruin of an entire culture. The documentary has three parts: first, lement for the South; second, massacre in the marshes; and third, crimes agaist humanity.
