The Policeman of Kirkuk

As ISIS advance through Iraq, thousands of government troops have fled. In Kirkuk, the power vacuum has led to the inset of factional rivalries on the frontline of the war with IS. It is now up to Police Chief Sarhad Qader to keep the peace. But in this crucible of ethnic violence, live combat isn't the only challenge Sarhad must face. Kidnappings and political blackmail are commonplace in a state where human lives are the only currency. (BBC)
