Without regard for his personal safety, Fakhir, a former Iraqi soldier, steps out every day into land mine–covered terrain in Mosul to disarm roadside car bombs and land mines. His son Abdulla narrates as we see home-movie footage of Fakhir’s time as a soldier during the Iraq War—the explosions, the disarming of countless bombs, the interrogation of suspects, the camaraderie between U.S. and Iraqi soldiers, and the myriad horrors of war. Even after he loses his right leg in a terrible attack, Fakhir’s determination and courage are relentless. As we watch each scene unfold, we cannot be sure that Fakhir will make it out alive; with every step there looms the possibility of an explosion and the end of his brave mission.  BD
