Synopsis
Two former 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.Filmed on location in Armenia, Iraq and Syria between 2022-2023
