Title

Girls' War

Taglines

Overview

As the forces of ISIS and Assad tear through villages and society in Syria and Northern Iraq, a group of brave and idealistic women are taking up arms against them—and winning inspiring victories. Members of “The Free Women’s Party” come from Paris, Turkish Kurdistan, and other parts of the world. Their dream: To create a Democratic Syria, and a society based on gender equality. Guns in hand, these women are carrying on a movement with roots that run 40 years deep in the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK) in Turkey. GIRL’S WAR honors the legacy of Sakine Cansiz, co-founder of the PKK who was assassinated in Paris in 2013, and reflects on the sacrifices made by all of the women in the movement, who have endured jail, rape, war, and persecution in their quest to liberate their lives and sisters from male dominance. With scenes of solidarity, strength, and love amongst these brave women soldiers, GIRL'S WAR is a surprising story of Middle Eastern feminism on the front lines.

Der Freiheitskampf der Kurdinnen

Taglines

Overview

Januar 2015: Die syrische Stadt Kobane wird von kurdischen Aufständischen aus der Gewalt der IS-Terrormilizen befreit. Die Bilder der jungen Kämpferinnen gehen um die Welt, ihr Mut gibt Tausenden Frauen in der Region neue Hoffnung. Bereits vor 40 Jahren gründeten Aktivistinnen in der Türkei die "Partei der Freien Frauen". Ihre Gründerin: Sakine Cansiz. „Frauen! Leben! Freiheit!“ skandieren Hunderte Frauen in Paris und Kobane, im türkischen Kurdistan und im irakischen Sindschar, an dessen Befreiung von der terroristischen IS-Miliz sie kürzlich beteiligt waren. Sie sind in diesem Teil der Welt die Hoffnung der anderen Frauen, die nicht nur von den Dschihadisten gequält, sondern auch von einer frauenfeindlichen, patriarchalisch geprägten Gesellschaft unterdrückt werden. Diese junge Generation tritt das Erbe der vor rund 40 Jahren in der Türkei gegründeten PKK an.
