Genocide is taking place against the indigenous Assyrians in post-invasion Iraq.
Defying Deletion is a film that focuses on the struggle of the ancient Assyrian race in Iraq. The history of the Assyrians is rooted deep in the northern Nineveh Plains of Iraq, but their religion is Christian, and after the US led invasion in 2003, they have been the target of ethnic cleansing, cultural genocide and region-based killing.—Lamassu Productions
