Michael continues his journey into the heart of Iraq as he makes his way towards Baghdad. He arrives in Kirkuk and the exact spot where the British discovered oil in 1927.

As Michael begins the final part of his journey into Iraq, he finds a local school in Baghdad and talks to the children about their lives.
