All My Mothers

This documentary focuses on the aftermath of the Baath ruling under Saddam Hussein, highlighting the tragic fate of approximately 182,000 individuals who lost their lives. It captures the destruction of around 4,500 villages and townships in the Kirkuk, Soleimanieh, Dahouk, and Erbil regions, aiming to illustrate the campaign to exterminate the Kurds and arabize Kurdistan.

The film takes a poignant approach, documenting the living conditions of the remaining villagers—primarily mothers, daughters, wives, and sisters of the victims. By uncovering one of the mass graves after 24 years, the documentary serves as a powerful testament to the human cost of political oppression. Collectors of documentary films may find this work to be a significant historical record that addresses themes of loss, memory, and resilience in the face of tragedy.
