Bakur

BAKUR takes a look at one side of the war that has been raging in Turkey for decades: that of the Kurdish PKK guerrillas. To date, the PKK have lost over 30,000 members in their fight for Kurdish independence. What is the PKK's perception of the state, justice and authority? What is their relationship to the people? How did the Kurdish movement evolve over the years into a battle for freedom founded on the women's rights movement? BAKUR introduces the women and men who have chosen to join the armed resistance in order to create a new future. (Montreal World Film Festival)
