Contents Summary

The film documents the outcomes of the safe havens designed to facilitate the return of the Kurds to northern Iraq, and reveals new evidence about the new threats facing them—the bombing of their homes and the attempt of the Iraqi forces to re-occupy their towns, forcing them to sleep in tents in the mountains during the winter. The program looks at the seeming lack of activity on the part of the West while Saddam Hussein continues to flout UN humanitarian resolutions. Taking part in the film are Jalal Talabani (Leader, Patriotic Union of Kurdistan), Jim Reynolds (UN High Commissioner for Refugees), Michael Stopford (Chief Officer, UN Gulf Aid), Ann Clwyd MP (Shadow Minister for Overseas Aid), and Douglas Hogg MP (Minister of State, Foreign Office).
