lt was 30 years ago that 14 year old Karzan Sherabayani was arrested and tortured by Saddam Hussein's secret police, his onIy crime being that he was a Kurd. After 25 years in exile, Karzan, now a British citizen, has returned to his childhood home to vote in Iraq's first democratic eIection. Having been banished for so long, Karzan now asks the people of Kirkuk if they accept the path promoted by the West...a path that wiII inevitably Iead to a divided lraq or a bloody civiI war.
In this incredibIe documentary, Karzan exposes a city that sits on one of the world's Iargest oil deposits as a place where old ethnic and sectarian divisions are still rife. Kirkuk, he says, is a microcosm of the new lraq. During the year it took to make the program, Karzan confronted oId demons from his past and met with the heroes and villains who are fashioning the country's dangerous and uncertain future. |
