Logline
This is a film about a feminist revolution that continued when everybody left. After defeating IS, the Rojava guerrillas were abandoned by their western allies. Today, they stand alone in fighting both IS and Turkey. We follow the soldiers’ dream of living as free women all while drones keep attacking, limbs are amputated and war is getting closer.
