Domiz is the largest refugee camp in Iraq. In March 2011, there was nothing there. Five years later, it has become a city. How are its residents experiencing their exile? Why do some risk their lives for Europe? Will they soon be able to return home? This report attempts to answer these questions by exploring the camp and the front line with the Peshmerga.
