Contents Summary

Gwynne Roberts was the first western journalist to enter northern Iraq after the Gulf War. He filmed the joy and then the agony of the Kurds as they saw their uprising collapse. The film shows the aftermath of the liberation of Iraqi Kurdistan following the end of the Gulf War; the return of the exiled Kurds and the brief period of Kurdish control of northern Iraq; and the recapture of northern Iraq by Saddam's troops. The film further investigates atrocities committed by the Iraqi police against the Kurdish people and also contains rare footage of the victims of nerve gas attack on Kurdish civilians.
