Gulîstan, Land of Roses
In the heart of the mountains and deserts of Kurdistan, the women of the Kurdish PKK guerrillas open the doors to their daily lives. Engaged in a fierce struggle against ISIS, they candidly share with filmmaker Zaynê Akyol their convictions, their hopes and the sacrifices their fight demands. Intimate and immersive, Gulîstan, Land of Roses paints a portrait of these revolutionary women who, weapons in hand, defend not only a territory but a vision of the world based on freedom and equality for all.
