Contents Summary

Fragment of a documentary about the situation of the Kurds in the aftermath of the Gulf War. It contains footage of the victims of the Iraqi troops and of dead Iraqi soldiers. Interviews with Kurds reveal how Iraqi troops operated and how the Peshmergas answered. It contains detailed accounts of the persecution of the Kurds, and of the reprisals for anyone who was not cooperating with the Iraqi regime: torture, including sexual abuse, committed in front of family members; kidnapping; executions; and imprisonment.
