Synopsis

A collection of photographs of the Kurdish people. Caught in the middle of wars and conflicts in the oil-rich territory where the borders of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey converge, exploited and betrayed by colonial nations and the Cold War superpowers, the Kurds have throughout history been classic victims of realpolitik, the most recent examples being the campaigns waged against them by Saddam Hussein. These 100 photographs were taken in locales ranging from Germany to Turkey, London to Syria, and Jerusalem to Iraq. We see mothers and children living in the bombed-out rubble of their homes; Kurdish expatriates in European cities preserving their culture in the face of sometimes violent xenophobia; Kurdish guerillas training for war; and victims of chemical warfare.
