KOBANE, to stand up. (Syria, 2022)
Duration: 42 minutes
Director: Ferran Domènech Tona

Rebuilt from the suicide bombs, Rojava blooms in the middle of a unique social revolution in the world. And, meanwhile, war continues.

Sınce the outbreak of the 'Rojava revolution', north-eastern Syria has experienced a series of social changes that have established the region as a politically pioneering territory within the Middle East. Almost 10 years on, a whole generation has grown up on the basis of values ​​of women's liberation, social ecology and radical democracy, wholly opposed to those promoted by Bashar al-Assad's Syrian regime.
However, in the city of Kobane we find very different realities being faced; some have fervently embraced these social changes, while others are thinking of emigrating to Europe. Through the life stories of two residents, Zilan and Hussein, we will enter into the reality of several young people, understanding what they fear and what they long for; visit the scenes where the war against the Islamic State and subsequent massacres of the civilian population population took place; and learn about the struggles of women working to eradicate patriarchy from society.
 

After the screening we will have food and drinks together.
