Saddam’s Killing Fields

Two years after the allied victory in Kuwait, Saddam Hussein was persecuting the Shia and exterminating the Marsh Arabs in Southern Iraq. Michael Wood pieces together this shocking story of destruction using secretly shot footage, to show a reign of terror previously unwitnessed. Today, this film remains the only detailed telling of the Marsh Arabs’ struggle for survival. The stories told by these people are as relevant as they were over thirty years ago.
