INTO THE FIRE
ABOUT
As ISIS began retreating from its vast territory in Iraq last year, it left behind a deadly crop of improvised explosives in fields, homes and even under children’s toys. Hana Mori leads an all-female team of Yazidi mine clearers working to rid the land of this scourge and heal themselves in the process.
