Millions of people live with the reality that one wrong step could kill them - and you can understand their experience like never before.

Iraq is one of the most heavily mined countries in the world, following successive conflicts including the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, both Gulf wars, and more recent IS insurgency.

We joined Manchester-based charity Mines Advisory Group (MAG) in Iraq as they work to clear land and make it safe. You can now watch our YouTube mini-documentary on the ground with the amazing men and women risking their lives to save others from the threat of landmines.
