The "Kurds" or Kurdish people are about "25-30 million" people that primarily reside in the Middle East like Turkey and Syria. As much of the world, Kurds were affected by former Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein who threatened and even bombed those who spoke out against his power. These actions killed "tens of thousands" of Kurds. While they fight for their own country and independence the film shares why that may not be possible for the people anytime soon.
Overall, the clip sheds light on a culture we hear so little about in a positive light.

I don't know if you heard about the Kurds attempting to get their own state. The Kurdish people I guess are looking to vote on a referendum this year. It was held September 25th of this year. The result was an overwhelming 92% that voted YES!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like this because Iraq was created after WW2 anyway where has the Kurds reach over into a few countries. I think it's time they get their own state as they have been doing a lot of the work fighting against ISIS and such.
