Directed by Rasa Kamal

Documentary, History, War

In a moment of revolutionary fervor, Kurdish partisans gather to celebrate the arming of the first female Peshmerga guerrillas. Their ceremony marks a moment of possibility, as a people dare to imagine a different future. But beyond the celebration, a war is unfolding. Through archival footage, the film revisits the Kurdish struggle in Eastern Kurdistan between 1979 and 1982, tracing the resistance against the newly established Islamic Republic of Iran and the hopes, fractures, and sacrifices of a revolution within a revolution.
