I Am White Mercenary plot

According to Saeid Jaf, a former commander of a mercenary army under the rule of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party, there is only one man in history to whom he can be compared: Oskar Schindler, who saved the lives of hundreds of Jews during the Holocaust. Armed with a video camera, Saeid Jaf returns to Iraqi Kurdistan, in northern Iraq, where more than 180,000 Kurds were massacred in the late 1980s in Operation al-Anfal. Saeid was commander of an army unit and as such partly responsible for the mass murder. He has to face the new Iraqi court for that, but Saeid argues that he saved countless lives from the massacre.
