Armed female guerrillas of the PKK risk their lives defending their freedom from the threat of ISIS.
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.
