Synopsis

It is March 2003 somewhere in Iraq. Kamal and his Kurdish family are trapped in the bunker beneath their house and are desperate for help from American forces. All the while Amanc, Kamal's son, snaps pictures of his family and their appalling living conditions with his new digital camera. Running short on supplies, tempers run high, but will they be saved in time?
