The Seeds of Genocide

KMP launches groundbreaking feature documenting 90 years of ‘Arabisation’ ethnic cleansing in Kurdistan

Produced for Kurdistan Museum, The Kurdistan Memory Programme (the KMP) national archive has established itself as the world’s foremost resource on the Kurdish story.

Since completing its filming work in early 2020 following 14 years of operation, the KMP has worked hard to deliver its final and most ambitious project to date: a never before documented 90 year interactive history of ‘Arabisation’ ethnic cleansing in Kurdistan.

Featuring close to 100 original films documenting a near century of Kurdish experience, ‘Seeds of Genocide’ launches for the first time in May 2023. Epic in scale, the feature uniquely details the deep connection between the ‘Arabisation’ ethnic cleansing of Kurdish lands and the Anfal mass genocide of 1988, in which up to 182,000 Iraqi Kurds lost their lives.
