Irak - Golf War <1990-1991> - Kurd - Escape
Twelve-year old Kamiran and his family flee Irak over the Turkish border
during the Golf War. At the end of the war only he and his mother are still
alive. The Kurdish author, now living in Denmark, depicts in a clear, simple
style the suffering of her people, who are not allowed to live anywhere in
peace. Without condemnation, this tale of flight and survival from the point
of view of the persecuted serves as an indictment against inhumanity in
general. (10+)
