Rojava: The Dream of the Kurds (Rojava – Der Traum der Kurden)

In March 2019, Kurdish-led forces freed the last stronghold of ISIS in Syria. Every party to the war had its own plans for what would come next, but what did the people of Rojava want?

Since 2013, the region had governed itself, with different peoples and religions living side by side, running the land themselves and putting equality between women and men into practice. Rojava: The Dream of the Kurds shows that experiment and the threats it faced, above all from Turkey and from the withdrawal of US troops.

The documentary is in German.
