What happens

Slip mine hænder er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2015 instrueret af Ala'A Mohsen. Med sorg i stemmen og et mørkt udtryk i ansigtet fortæller 42-årige Haider om sit liv i fangenskab under oprøret i Irak i 1991. Saddam Hussein havde netop opgivet krigen og forladt et krigsramt land i knæ. Selvom fortiden er dunkel og fyldt med smerte, ser Haider fremad med håbet om et trygt og værdigt liv for sine børn her i Danmark. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
