Set in Iraq during the British colonial era, Sheikh Dhari and his tribe refuse British rule, using peaceful resistance against the occupation. The British forces retaliate with violence, attacking Dhari’s settlements and confronting the Laghman group. After his capture, they accuse him of blocking a road, revealing Britain’s schemes in Iraq.
