Contents/Summary

Summary
Reported on the survivors of chemical attacks in the Kurdish highlands, northern Iraq, on the action of Saddam Hussein's Iraqi dictator and chief minister of war Ali. The protagonist Mrs Nadziba, who survived the attacks as a young girl, and then decades ago, recalled the horrors on the bench of witnesses in Saddam's trial. Filmed in a secret prison where they were tortured for political reasons or convicted prisoners of origin, the film displays a surviving story about the creepy scenery of today's "prison panoptic".
