The Deminer

The Deminer

In 2003, Fakhir, an Iraqi father of eight, joins a military mission to Mosul to fight the terrorists who filled a vacuum after the fall of Saddam Hussein. Seeing how thousands of innocent people are maimed and injured by landmines, Fakhir decides to become a deminer. Using only a knife and a pair of clippers he disarms thousands of mines, constantly putting his life at risk. Fakhir knows that innocent people need his help.
