Women Of Resilience - Tales of Kurdish Identity

Resistance, Courage, Transformation. Two female Ex-Guerillas and their non-violent fight for freedom

Two former female Kurdish guerrilla fighters reconnect over their shared history and their decision to leave the movement to fight for Kurdish freedom in a different, non-violent way. A story of resistance against the suppression of one's own voice and culture. It is also a story of an irreversible, personal decision to give up everything, and of the courage of women who, like thousands of other young women, went "to the mountains"... only to leave it all behind again years later to exchange weapons for art and activism.
