It's amazing, it really shows what happened to us , and there are thousands of stories worse than Zara and what happened to her family, it's so tragic and what happened to us is not forgotten, thanks to every single one, helped a little bit to us to a big

One of thousands side of a stupid religion's brutality story. I should have loved this... great acting and characters... good storyline. If you haven't watch it, go watch it!

Last year, we had on the big screen LES FILLES DU SOLEIL, another feature speaking of the same topic, women soldiers fighting against the barbary of ISIS. I prefered the other one, especially for the end, In this film, the ending is too lousy, too smotth, in the pure Hollywood tradition; for the sissies. I prefered the other film, also made by a female director. It was more dark, brutal and compelling. But in this one, acting and directing are more than OK, the cast awesome. I won't say this film is too simplist, manichean. IT MUST BE. How could it be other, with such ISIS garbage, and barbary. Even if we had seen the female fighters torturing ISIS prisoners, behaving in the same manner as those criminals, how could we see ISIS other than the bad guys, the evil plague which the earth should be got rid of? I would also say this movie is too didactic, but it must be, to explain how these ISIS monster proceed to spread terror. This film is too simplistic but deserves to be seen.

Nothing is more certain than death, taxes -- and betrayal of the Kurds. So it is really shocking when a reviewer here blames Trump, when in fact Obama, Bush, Clinton all deeply betrayed the Kurds. In fact both the US and the Europeans have been doing so for a century or more. There was then VP Bidens shameful August 2016 press conference in Ankara, directly threatening the Kurds and towing Ankara's line. There was also Obama's "red line" on use of chemical weapons' which did nothing about when the red line was blatantly crossed -- several times. In fact there was a piece in the NYT noting Kurds who had earlier named their newborns "Obama" where changing their kid's names in disgust at the Obama administration! so anyone blaming just one US President or administration is frankly a deranged partisan! There is no president in our lifetimes that has not betrayed the Kurds.

OK, on to this film: Yes it is a bit melodramatic, and has a run on of low credibility scenes from a military perspective. A military advisor, even in guerilla/insurgent tactics would have been helpful -- if thing other than to have the actresses hold weapons' correctly. But that said it is essentially a true story of bravery, courage and sacrifice in the face of powerful, genocidal, particularly misogynist enemies.

Well done!

Acting is great, carachters are great. everything is fabolous... watching the brave women fight the bacon-haters is fantastic....
