HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- This documentary travels deep into the mountains and deserts of Kurdistan, where armed female guerillas from the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) defend Kurdish territory against ISIS. These women share their most intimate thoughts with filmmaker Zaynê Akyol, resulting in an immersive audience experience. By offering a window into this largely unknown world, the film exposes the hidden feminist face of a revolutionary group united by a common vision of freedom.

This is REAL feminism

Every woman? You think this about your mother too? And do you think no girl should marry a man?
I’m a black African descendant man & I stand by Kurdish people. Inshallah we will achieve peace.

Thank you
I spent time in Kurdistan in Iran, Iraq and Turkey. The Kurdish people were the most hospitable I have ever met after traveling to over 30 countries.
Bravest people are also mostly the kindest!
You didn't go to Portugal, Trás os Montes. Or any little village in the interior.
You are always welcomed in Kurdistan 🌹❤
@@eclipsesolar8345 and you also didn't went to Kurdistan, if you went you could know how is the differences between eroupean country and the most middle East country, and the reason of Portugal poeple are some hospitable is because of the some war and imegriation and etc reasons transfer peoples to both side, and they get this moral character
Yeah yeah keep talking bullshit
I am a Kurdish American woman, there aren’t many like me in the US. I never met another Kurd until I moved to Nashville, which has the highest population of Kurds in the US.
My father is an Iraqi Kurd who fled Iraq during Saddam’s regime. I would love to travel to Kurdistan one day and meet my people. ☀️
You will. Don't be sad. Be happy.
Your people is amazing❤
I live in US and have never met any. we get lots of refugees here in upstate ny but surprisingly no kurds. interesting that they go to nashville. respect to all kurdish people most powerful women on the planet.
Sending u a biiiig hug❤ U will find more from your People❤
😍😍
What an amazing group of people. The Kurdish are like no other. They refuse to kneel to the persecution they have received from three neighbouring powers and just keep on with their lives. I'm a man and the feminist aspect of their society is what I find to be most empowering. No other kand in that region wouldallow a woman anywhere near a gun. But here we have battle hardened female veterans. Long live the Kurds. God i hope they can gain their own homeland. No people deserve it more.
These Kurds are Marxist.
The Peshmerga are Righteous Kurds IMO
Watch what happens to Delusional people, they will be killed or captured and then turned into slaves, any woman that wants to play soldier deserves no mercy and should be treated like a man on the battlefield as they will be. This is the future of feminism.
these are the real feminists the warriors in the olden days of islam women fought and always the kurds had women fighters
subhanallah
@@2009jadeorchid In America, feminism means exposing yourself on OnlyFans, hooking up with bad boys, coloring your hair blue, piercing and tattooing your body, then taking a low-risk job in human resources.
I love documentaries without background music and good cinematography. They seem so pure with nobody imposing a thought or a color on the scene. It's unadulterated and pure.
LOVE to the brave Kurds🥰🥰😘 they are respected by members of our military. The way they stand their ground and fight. Known to love music, dancing and bright colors and they are extremely loyal. Peace and love to the Kurdish warrior woman
They are terrorist you fool understud
Proud to be a Kurdish woman.
These people act like educating women is such a radical concept. It really shows what these people were up against. Apparently ISIS is still giving them a hard time. There was a prison break recently.

I am Mexican-Kurdish gentleman. Welcome to my country!
Interesting mix, love Mexican culture
At first watching this video, i felt bad for these women, but after seeing them, in midst of war, still clinging on to their innocence, and enjoying their time together, this is by far the best motivation anyone could need, i pray that you all find peace, and that your struggles be few.
they all sign oath in blood to fight to the death for their right to live. they'll keep fighting til the end of time, til they get their sovereignty or til they're wiped off the face of he earth.. those are the 3 only possible outcomes.
I really appreciate for the documentary, we dream of counting more money and increasing our pockets yet these braves ladies are fighting for peace to their country without earning a penny ,much respect to them, and I learn alot from these documentaries/stories, thanks
"We dream of counting more money..." Speak for yourself. Anti-capitalist guerilla fighters are everywhere even in the belly of the beast.
Golden words by tht Lady before go to war zone and also emotional documentary without any sounds effects God bless 🙌 🙏 to kurdish people lots of love from New Zealand
Respect for these heroes. They are braver than any one i know. Namaste may life bless you and keep you all save....
God bless these Kurdish people
Amen
❤
🤮
It is worth noting that Sozdar Cudi, the woman focused on in this film who gives the final emotional words, was martyred last year (2022) by the Turkish military. Rest in power - she lived and fought for a brighter future for us all, and we should all take it upon ourselves to learn from her example in keeping the flame of the international workers' movement and connected national liberation struggles alive.
Many of these soldiers are likely dead now. This was 8 years ago. These are noble warriors, fighting as a defensive force and not invaders. May they all see paradise when they die, Ameen.
Or retired. Hopefully retired.
@@twistedyogert They'd still be serving if alive. The YPK are still active.
Very likely.
Tragically, this may well be true. They are all heroes.
Это так грустно 😞
Prayers for these strong women! Beautiful inside and out!
❤
The most bravest women on this planet!
I was searching about Rojen Beritan in internet… there were not much informative about her until I found a fb page mentioning martyred fighters , my worst fear came true..she was martyred in 17th aug 2015, still cannot believe it, those eyes…. REST IN PEACE warrior
Thats sad to hear, a beautiful and very brave stong lady and intelligent too. May she rest in peace
it's great to see lot's of amazing documentaries and movies have been made about Kurds.
people of the world will see the truth.
Love to visit this wonderful land and meet these brave and beautiful kurds. Lot of love from India ❤️❤️
i loved the words from Sozdar. They were beautiful and had me thinking a lot, and I'll make surw to always remember them
We Kurdish children in Northern Kurdistan have been raised in turkish schools by turkish racial ideology. We learned, in Turkey we all are Turks, all muslim. Me personally believed we are Turks till end of my universtidy graduation. After new Kurdish muvement From up 90s step by step have recognized my kurdish idendity.
Yes! I'm from england and I hope you get the recognition you deserve!
Me too, from Serbia
Kurdish identity? Don't you guys support isra****?
@@faizafaiza6524 good luck IS tirko

Dont you blame them to support isreal. Becease back in the days Iraq Syria Iran Turkey hated them. Isreal was the only country in the middle east that helped them. So yeah alot of kurds love isreal. You cant blame that to them.
Women of courage, women of strength, women of beauty, women of honor.

Good for you keep up the good fight you woman are just as brave as the men from where you are .USA Massachusetts
I'm Armenian, and also stand by the Kurdish people. Hope one day their people will have their own nation, a free and progressive society giving an example to the world of perseverance, human rights and the protection of freedom for all.
So much respect. Keep them safe.
in a few hours the comments will be flooded with Turkish haters. they can't stand that Kurds are a brave people who protect other minorities. And almost all the world like them except (Turkey Iran Azerbaijan and some other country's). even China Russia America support the Kurds. something you rarely see that 3 superpowers have something in common and help a certain group together.
Well Trump threw the Kurds to the sharks for some reason. It was so out of left field, even for him.
@@twistedyogert
The obly reason trump did it. Its becease he has a few trump towers in istanbul. He sold the kurds so he can save his own money in turkey what he invested.
The Turks are fascists.
@@OperationFoxley19441 as Master Chief117 said, you are a hater. Kurds are among the kindest people you will ever find , and so brave too.
@@OperationFoxley19441
Not all turks are fascists.
That woman talking about (not) saying goodbye to her mother just breaks my heart. What a hero. All of them. If people everywhere were this brave and dedicated, there would be peace in the world.
Now this is feminism. Good luck to these women and the Kurdish people as a whole.
Kurds have a mentality, modern, for peace, real democracy. Kurds are a garant for democracy and peace in the region. They need to be supported, not jihadist turkey or iran which are a danger for pease and for all the region
I thought these people were Marxists. If this were in the 1980s the Soviets would probably have supported them.
@@twistedyogert propaganda of some uninformed with low know how. As every nation kurds have also democrats, lefts, conservatives. But, most of kurds have a modern, human mentality. Takealook Syrian Kurds/ Rovava Kurdistan. World could learn real democracy from them.
LOL you even renounce your leader "APO" the baby killer's own ideology for some support and good deeds of others. There is no democracy in a marxist military camp. Kurd's still lives in a feudal-tribe mentality, used by tribe leaders and land owners. Even you don't believe these BS that you say.

Respect from India to Kurdish Brothers & sisters. Turkey is funding these things. We indians share a long history with persians and after Otoman falls, it looks still some poison is left. Indians will stand for you. I request all indians to collect funds to support & respect this bravery against state sponsor terrorism. ✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊
As a Kurd who had to immigrate to America, I wished to be a free shepherd in my own land. Unfortunately, we are occupied from 4 sides. We cannot pay our warriors their due. They are running to die for us.Her bîjî Kurdistan ✌️
I trained & fought alongside some Peshmerga often during my teams time over there. They’re amazing people, selfless & humble and like most of the world have a true hate for POS like isis & terrorism in general!
I love kurdistanian they good people…long live kudistan
I really appreciate their love and understanding of their chosen rifles they use to remain free. It’s a beautiful thing. I teach my entire family with this same regard for firearms as it’s the only thing that stands between you and total tyranny. God bless the USA 🇺🇸 and God bless Kurdistan 🤲🏻🙏🏻
Really wished all the ladies worldwide were more like these ladies. Brave, strong, realizing that not everyone deserve mercy or kindness, willing to fight and grab a gun, standing up for themselves, being heroic, destroying patriarchy and toxic masculinity completely and becoming the ones who make the decisions and LEAD instead of becoming shy weak fearful defenseless housewives that can't even defend themselves if someone was attacking them. I KNOW if women in my country were like this my country would never be ravaged as it is now.
Awwwwww
Jealous?
Hmmmmm
Why are tears flowing down ur eyes
Mama's boy
Bwahahaha
Which country are you from?
Most places do not necessitate this kind of woman. Its better to hope for a world where no place needs women to become killers/warriors.
A lot of these ladies didn’t make it to their 30th birthdays . We can recognize that their circumstances made them extraordinary people while also recognizing that it’s a violent and horrible situation that is not ideal for society . Strength can be acquired through all sorts of different trials and tribulations and there are all sorts of opportunities to be brave , even outside a war zone
brave and strong women I prey you all live in peace and happiness your people deserve it
So much love for these strong & brave Women!❤❤ #JînJîyanAzadî
Hearing them sit and talk about guns is so crazy. I wish them the best. They are warriors
As secular muslim always support kurdish brothers against extremist isis from Bangladesh
this extremist group broken my heart. i hate isis
Do you call this Kurdish fighters extremist? Do you have any idea what kurds have been through for more than a decade?
If you were in fact "secular" you wouldn't be saying "I always support my brothers"!!!! These are women! All countries have women too. Half of this planet are also women. And they will be your sisters and if you weren't an islamic fanatic you would fully recognize all their existence and rights and that sentence would be "I always support my SISTERS" when women are the ones you refering to or "SISTERS and brothers" when the crowd has both men and women in it. Fact that you're already ignoring women and disrespecting like that by talking about how you support your brothers is proof right of the bat that you're the typical misogynistic radical muslim that disses women and can't have a non-sexualized view of them.
@@honargulli1881You misunderstood me. try to understand my speak. i told isis is extremist. i never told kurdish fighters are extremists. i told i support kurdish fighters against isis. i hope you understand now

Thanks to them, there’s a Kurdish part of Iraq now with a Kurdish leader.
As a ex IDF member I know the Kurd fight and when you fight for your land and the right to exist G-D is in your side
God is with Palestinians whom are facing ethnic cleansing from your military.
Tell that to the Palestinian people
Hamas controls the Palestinian people unfortunately
True warriors.
You have to be. Kurds have been given the short end of the stick by the Turks for decades if not centuries. You got to be tough to be one of them.
@@twistedyogert
Yeah I also read that Kurds are fighting over 50 years against the Turks. Qhere the Turks has modern planes drones en very good tanks. They still cant defeat the kurds. Its only show that the kurds are willing to get their country.
But they want 1 thing above a country. They want peace, they want to have the right to speak a kurdish language in Turkish schools. They want the right to move freely with a kurdish flag with out beated by turks nationalists.
For me in the EU. I hope that all muslims turks kurds arabs live one day in peace. Its sad that there its so much war in the middle east. My prayers go to all the innocent people in the middle east.
@@twistedyogert As an Iranian I need to add that other than the fact that this is part of being Kurdish to be strong and never to bow down to evil and how they pretty much expect and teach their children from the start to be strong and be warriors and the fact that they treasure their roots and Persian culture they come from and do not want to give them up because some fascist regime is trying to strip all Iranians including kurdish people of their true identities, those of them that are in Iran (or are Iranian kurds no matter were they are) need to be strong because in Iran people overall are trapped under that arab-born islamic dictatorship regime and while all of them in their own ways do revolt from times to time (like the bloody protests of the past decades where they were mass killed by that regime when they tried to kick that islamic fascist regime out and make their country free of islamics again) but Kurdish people being taught what they're taught and having more bravery and warrior-type mindsets and being aware of their true identities as Iranians and treasuring Persian values such as feminism, animal rights, environmental rights, freedom, justice and fairness and ... are of course more likely to fight and fight harder and properly resist that fascist regime even if that required them to grab guns. As a result of that those islamic fascists of the regime of Iran are more scared of kurdish people in Iran compared to the rest of the groups and hence zoom in on them often with their oppressing and barbaric methods of oppression and while the rest of the Iranians are doing their best to prevent that, there goes a lot of attacks on kurdish people that are being kept hidden from the rest of Iranians. So because of all these, kurdish people in Iran are for sure one of the bravest and strongest groups.
"But they want 1 thing above a country. They want peace, they want to have the right to speak a kurdish language in Turkish schools. They want the right to move freely with a kurdish flag with out beated by turks nationalists." Any kurdish people can do all those in Iran. Kurdish people by roots are Iranian and all true Iranians hold them dear as the brave strong and the more-Iranian people they are and for sure treasure them as their countrymates. The problem in Iran though is its arab-born fascist dictator regime that is crushing all Iranians, kurdish people included and sadly despite the attempts and deep wish of all true Iranians that regime after half a century is still there ruling and causing as much genocide against Iranians and ruins against Iran and any living souls on it as possible with the international community doing nothing but attacking Iranians instead of providing any help to kick that fascist regime out of the country and live in peace like before that messed up regressive islamic cancerous revolution.

for the Turks here in the comments. I ask you to be polite and not involve other people's mothers. I ask that you substantiate your opinions and not start scolding. what I ask for you is that you will be polite. I and many others do not ask that much of you. let's have a respectful discussion with all of them. don't let hate split us apart. This its also mean to the kurds.
This would be what strong feminist looks like not those pink colored girls just fighting for more privilege.
Kudos to these brave women
Women can be anyhow, doing anything with all their rights and freedoms regardless of what some misogynistic coward like you thinks! THAT is feminism. For women to decide and exercise everything for themselves not being told by some incel crying online that "their hair shouldn't be pink"! Both groups you said are still feminists.
I Will pray for you, be prepared. We all learn, how to be good people.🌹🌹🌹

Someone tag the view and tell them this is what real women do .
Huh ... I'm curious that if we gave guns to the "real women" where you are if they'd point their guns right at you or not since you sound like some misogynist incel not that different from Taliban or ISIS.
Women who believe in the struggle and ate really prepared to fight knowing what the outcome will be if they don't
Hope one day we can get an update so we know they're ok
Nearly all of them died in the coming years after filming (2015-17)

Even Canada designated PKK as a terrorist organisation for some reason. A death toll of 40.000 people maybe. Maybe for killing engineers, teachers, workers and farmers those who wanted to develop these region.. Maybe for burning hundreds of square kilometers of forests..

Everyone needs peace! Everyone needs their human rights! If someone is fighting for their rights, then there was an injustice. Check what happened to them. The source shouldn't be your media but real people who experienced all those injustices. Do your research. Maybe you lived with so many lies. Maybe the media in your country fooled you. You ll never know till you hear the real story from real people.
I highly agree with you.
Just watching this and the deep rooted soulful distant look in their eyes trying to hide the trickle of tears and pain is heartwrenching to say the least God bless you

Kurdish people should be recognuzed by whold world. They r real good people, theh value and respecf each other. No women is left ro be opressed bh man. They havs equal rights. Thess women are so strong. I hope someday they will have their own kand. Coz no other country in middle east (mostly islamic imo, sorry) deserve it like them
You're racist and ignorant by that last line. And many countries in the middle east are not even by default islamic and had Arabs force their rancid islam on them like Iran. Kurdish people are also Iranian by roots and culture. Iran of them all deserves way better and for sure deserves all its even past lands and for sure deserved better than racist illiterates like you disrespecting them when they themselves have been the most oppressed most harmed groups in all history but somehow the world not only not see facts but even attack them instead of helping to save them and their countries. And Kurdish people do have their lands in Iran. They're cities where almost everyone there are kurds and all of them combined are called Iran's KURDISTAN. Learn some facts before talking.
Thank you x
Damn.....that ending speech hit hard.
I hv no word to desribe these women.always fighting with islamic opressors .
