A journey through a rare archive documenting the Kurdistan region of Iraq between 1974 and 1992, and at the same time a son's search for his lost father, the photographer Twana Abdullah, who was murdered. The box of negatives he left behind holds a portrait of a region through years of war and displacement, and the volume reads it as both a public and a private record.
