Saddam’s gold, the final loot of the Iraqi war, is smuggled into Turkey hidden in cotton balls. Blind workers are employed by the smugglers to separate the gold from the cotton, and in order to prevent any theft they tell the workers that they are separating pebbles from the cotton. They don’t know that there’s a seeing eye among the blind workers.

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
