In this part of the world where men walk in front and women behind, the fact that they have taken up arms alongside their brothers is of extraordinary significance.

- It could be just another film about a woman, or women; the ones we see in our everyday lives. Jalila brings a different perspective on women in a crisis or a war situation. Jalila is not about a single comrade fighting on the front line, nor about a single mother grieving over her martyr son. It's about women standing against injustice; a woman who overcame rape and rose to prevent it. A woman who is dauntless and powerful yet tender and beautiful. This preserved identity of being a woman in everything she does, whether smelling a flower or fighting in a battle field, is what the film is about. Jalila is not a character in the film, Jalila is every woman in the film.

But what we will find there, at the foot of the border, will surpass any expectations.
