- Summary:
- From July to December 2015, Bernard-Henri Levy and a team of cameramen travelled the 1000 kilometers of the frontline that separates Iraqi Kurdistan from Daesh's troupes. From this journey comes a logbook in images that offers a privileged view of a war that is unfinished but whose stakes are of global importance. In close quarters with the Peshmergas, these Kurdish fighters who show unfailing determination in their fight against obscurantism and jihadi fundamentalism, the film takes us from the heights of Mosul to the heart of the Sinjar Mountains passing on the way via the last Christian monasteries threatened with destruction. Many remarkable characters make their mark on this account, men and women of an ilk one rarely encounters.
