After the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003, Fakhir, a father of eight and major in the Iraq Armed Forces, goes on a mission to disarm thousands of mines laid across Mosul. Home movie footage shot by his fellow troops and discovered by his son years later show how Fakhir manages to disarm thousands of mines with just a knife and a pair of wire clippers. Despite the risk, Fakhir knows he cannot stop while there are still mines in the city. Winner of the special jury prize at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA).
