Imagining Kurdistan
Timed to coincide with the 5th anniversary of the
American invasion of Iraq (week commencing 17th March 2008),
Michael Goldfarb who spent a lot of time in the Kurdish autonomous
region in Northern Iraq during the war, returns to Erbil and
Kirkuk, to visit the people of Kurdistan, and in particular the
Shawkat family, who he
became close to during his time there. He’ll find out how life
has changed since the elections, if the dream of an independent
Kurdistan is as strong as ever and, if Iraq unravels, this dream is
in danger of being shattered forever.
