Golshifteh Farahani Unique style at 71th Cannes Film Festival

 The film highlights the struggle of women against obscurantism. Eva Husson has gathered hours of testimony to flesh out her tale, which is directly inspired by recent news events. The film echoes the experiences of the Kurdish women fighters engaged in conflict with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. With their Kalashnikovs in their hands, they were the face of the struggle which took the West by surprise in 2015.
