Is the Phaistos Disc a clever fake? The film follows the trail of possibly one of the greatest archaeological scandals ever.

The Deminer

Sep 23, 2018

In the chaotic aftermath of the fall of Saddam Hussein, Fakhir, a father of eight, is serving in the Iraqi army. All around him, he sees innocent civilians getting injured by landmines, so he determines to disarm them with his own hands, using just a pocketknife and some wire cutters. He clears thousands of roadside bombs, mines and car bombs, knowing that every time he cuts a wire it could cost him his life—which he seems to find less important than the lives of others. In 2014, by this time having lost a leg, he starts working for the Kurdish Peshmerga, disarming boobytraps left behind by Daesh in and around Mosul. An enthusiastic home video maker, Fakhir collects hundreds of hours of footage of his day-to-day work.

Mar 10, 1994

In the words of those days, "The first parliament of the Second Republic opened in its new building at 15:00 on a Wednesday.
