Description

Girls of the Sun

Lawyer-turned-freedom fighter Bahar (Golshifteh Farahani) prepares to liberate her
Kurdistan village and free her son taken hostage by extremists. French journalist Mathilde (Emmanuelle Bercot), herself traumatised by the recent death of her husband in Libya, arrives to cover the story of Bahar and her Kurdish army known as “Girls of the Sun”.

During her time spent embedded within the ranks of this all-female unit of former ISIS captives, Mathilde faces her own inner demons and finds strength through adversity. Girls of the Sun is an incendiary and unashamedly emotional film that pays respect to largely unacknowledged Kurdish female warriors who have played a monumental role in the fight against Isis.

Critic Reviews:

  • " Girls of the Sun may be a war movie, but its empathy and compassion are what win the day. " – Betsy Bozdech
  • " Girls of the Sun is a powerful, unblinking drama about the horror of war, offering a unique female-centric view into a conflict that ravaged so many. " – Cate Marquis
  • " Strictly as a suspenseful wartime tale, the film has a handful of genuinely gripping action sequences that pull no punches as far as the violence, which only adds to the movie's authentic feel. " – Steven Prokopy
