Synopsis:

Jinwar in northeast Syria is not just a village but a living matriarchy, built by women for women to unbind patriarchy and cradle a future born of their hands. Yasemin and her sisters have given all for a life beyond fear. But as the regime falls, an extremist dream would own them and destroy the sanctuary they’ve built. They become shield and sword – mothers, healers, fighters – choosing fierce resistance together over a return to the lives they led before they found freedom within Jinwar’s walls.

Director’s Profile:

Beyan Salah is a Kurdish director whose work foregrounds intimate human stories that often go missing from headline news.

Believing that audiences are moved most deeply when they momentarily inhabit another person’s life on screen, she pursues narratives that foster empathy and real-world change. Her credits include producing and co-shooting on the award-winning feature documentary Name Me Lawand, directed by Edward Lovelace.
