The iconic slogan “Jin, Jiyan, Azadî” – “Woman, Life, Freedom” – was born in Kurdistan and now resonates around the world.

Director Dida Faridoon takes us into the heart of Rojava, following young fighter Chaw Rush and two prominent female leaders: Rohilat Afrin, a YPJ commander, and Ilham Ahmed, head of foreign affairs for Northeast Syria. The film portrays the ongoing fight against ISIS and the rise of a new generation within the Middle East’s only all-female military force.
