„Gulîstan, Land of Roses“ is a documentary that tells about the mysterious journey of Gulîstan, a young woman who left
Canada, her adopted country, to enlist in the Kurdish guerillas. She fought with her comrades until her death in 2000.
From Canada to the borders of Turkey and Iraq the film retraces the steps leading to Gulîstan’s tragic death. Who was
she? What really happened to her? What were her reasons for joining the guerillas? Director Zayne Akyol happens to be
looking for her ancient babysitter Gulîstan right at the time during summer 2014, when Islamic State attacks Kurdistan
and its neighbour regions. „Gulîstan, Land of Roses“ is a search for meaning and an intimate portrait of an insurgent
whose unusual fate evokes the journey and identity of an entire people.
