Women of Ararat



PART 1
(PART 2 IS HERE: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxJ_5_hw9qM )
Iraq. Summer 2003. Nobody, except our driver, knows where we are heading to. After 800 kms of desert and crossing illegaly the kurdish frontline, we reach our destination, a mountain range at the border of Irak, Iran and Turkey. This is a strategic point controlled by the kurdish rebels of the PKK. Among them are 3000 women. They have founded their own army and live separated from the men.

We are the first Western crew to have filmed their lives.

A haunting story about war, sadness, and women...
