Kurdistan 2009: while the war is still going on in Baghdad, there is a new nation rising with immense speed in the north of the federation.

Children’s everyday life in the autonomous region, Kurdistan is filled with high hopes, and a fear of that the peace they now know and have been longing for will not last.

This documentary is a part of the graduation project, 'Teaching the World', at Bilder Nordic School of Photography, 2007/09. It’s a project about childhood conditions, and children’s education.
