In the mud as in the snow, moments of blissful madness and surpassing oneself are followed by moments of despair and outbursts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engaged with their twenty male comrades in this adventure, they begin their training, which will last three months, in the camp of Komala. This Kurdish opposition party, entrenched in the mountains between Iran and Iraq, has been organizing itself clandestinely and waging a guerrilla war for decades against the Islamic Republic of Iran&#8217;s fierce repression of the Kurdish minority.<br>In the course of this apprenticeship, they confront the contradictions of a male-led institution. Having a gun in hand does not lead to certain equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meeting with Kawsar &#8211; a teacher of their political and military training &#8211; who works for the rights of Kurdish women both in Iran and inside Komala is then central. Would her election to the highest committee of the party be a revolution for the place of women? Who said that an institution run by men should remain so?<br>Together, Sama and Kawsar will fight to the end. Helia seems to have taken a different path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Documentary film, directed by Sarah Guillemet and Le\u00efla Porcher.
