Face to face with jihadists
After the impressive Gulistan, Land of Roses (VdR 2016), the Kurdish filmmaker ZaynĂȘ Akyol returns with these conversations with imprisoned members of the Islamic State, alternating their words with aerial views of the countryside. An unexpected look at a far-reaching current political issue and a film whose subject matter and rhythm create an impressive cinematic object.
