Contents Summary
The Kurdish town of Duhok in Northern Iraq has seen little peace throughout the 1980s and 1990s; it was shelled regularly during the eight-year war with Iran, attacked by the Iraqi regime, and later became a war casualty in the war waged by the U.S. against Saddam Hussein. The film reveals the town of Dohuk and its people. It speaks about the attacks committed by the Iraqi Government Security Forces, the first reactions to the fierceness of the attacks among the people of Dohuk and the Peshmerga fighters, the fleeing from Iraq, and the lack of support for the Kurds from neighboring countries.
