One of the most moving, powerful and inspiring films ever
24 October 2021
I simply cannot understand this film ever getting a bad review. It was expertly written, directed, and acted. And its subject matter told the truth about one of the worst human rights violations of modern times: when Daesh/ISIL invaded and murdered parts of Iraq and Syria, killing men and turning women and girls into sex slaves for profit.

Their truth is told through this powerful film about a group of Kurdish women turned freedom fighters who fight for the freedom of women and children against terrorists. The leader, Bahar, is a powerful and inspiring woman who has lost her entire family and village to Daesh. I was moved to tears numerous times through the film but also inspired by the triumph of the human spirit against unbelievable adversity.

This is one of the best war films and films about women ever made. Yet a film critic named Agnes Poirier wrote a bad review of it in the Guardian. Since nothing she said in the review is true I can only guess that her criticism was politically motivated in favour of Islamism, which has allies in France and England and among naïve Leftists. Perhaps the Guardian didn't want people to see the truth about Daesh?

I truly cannot understand that shameful review, which negates the truth of what those women have been through. Shame on that film critic. It's a slap in the face of women who were raped by Daesh, whose truth is told by Sisters of the Sun.

Shame on Agnes Poirier for that drivel. There's even a line in the film about how people in France don't want to know the truth -- which seems to apply to apologists for Islamism. And thank you to Eva Husson for making one of the greatest films ever made.
