Kurdish people are the major ethnic group on earth that are without their own homeland. Freelance journalist Kevin McKiernan brings the stories and history of the Kurdish people and their modern struggle for independence to life by going into the war zones in the Middle East. The program also presents a paradox in U.S. foreign policy which portrays the Kurds as "good" when they are Saddam Hussein's victims and "bad" when they are waging an armed insurrection against Turkey, an American ally.
