A Kurdish woman thinks back on the event that sent her family running for their lives - the Halabja poison gas attack on Kurdistan on March 16, 1988. She is grateful to have survived and been given the opportunity for a fresh start - thousands weren't so lucky - but part of her still longs to be closer to the roots that she left behind. Before the gas bombs were dropped, the planes tested the wind currents by dropping blank pages of paper over the city. This song was inspired by Choman Hardi's poems - “My Mother's Kitchen“ and “Two Pages“
