Synopsis:
Will the Kurdish dream of independence and freedom become a reality? With the rise of ISIS and the central role played by the Kurdish Peshmerga in the fight against them, the question of Kurdish independence has taken on greater urgency. To answer this pressing question, Kurdish author Kae Bahar travels from his London home to his rocky, mountainous homeland, encountering a complex mix of Kurdish nationalism and internal division. War or peace? Bahar asks. The answer is not so simple.
