A French journalist (Emmanuelle Bercot) journeyed to Kurdistan to embed with a most unusual battalion--comprised of Yazidi women who’d escaped the grasp of ISIS insurgents and who were now fighting to reclaim their village. As she follows the squad’s ex-lawyer topkick (Golshifteh Farahani) on its mission, she might find more of a story than she had bargained for, in Eva Husson’s controversial combat opus. Zubeyde Bulut, Maia Shamoevi also star. 115 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French, Kurdish; Subtitles: English. In French and Kurdish with English subtitles.
