Two Alis, The

Two Iraqi boys were amongst the thousands terribly injured by Allied bombs.

Two Iraqi boys were amongst the thousands terribly injured by Allied bombs. One, 13-year-old Ali Ismael, who lost his arms and his parents, became one of the icons of the conflict and received millions of dollars in donations and thousands of letters of support. The other, six-year-old Ali Hussein, was less photogenic: a cluster bomb had exploded in his face. This programme follows the two boys for the months following the war providing an extraordinary child’s eye view of war, politics and the future as two very different boys tell their stories.
