Sister in army

A teenage Yazidi is abducted and sold as a sexual slave in a war-torn Middle Eastern nation. She vows to exact her vengeance by joining an international brigade of women fighting with the Kurdish resistance. She learns to use weapons and discovers the solidarity of those who rebel, as well as the possibility of punishing their oppressors: fanatics who fear being killed by women. Sisters in Arms is a documentary about the last World War, which women and Kurds won for us.

ZARA is a young Yazidi who is intelligent and an artist who dreams of traveling. When Islamists assault her hamlet of Sinjar, her life is turned upside down. They murder her father and deport her in order to sell her as a sex slave. A British convert purchases her. During her confinement, assaults occur, and the world learns of the misery. Kenza, a young French-Algerian woman who has previously lost a sister to Islamists, joins the resistance. She meets YAEL (a young Israeli), MOTHER SUN (an Italian communist who was raped as a child), AMERICAN SNIPER (an Iraqi female soldier), and LADY KURDA (a Kurd of the diaspora who takes selfies all the time).

The romanticism of the world of peace joins the reality of the world of war. ZARA, who escaped her executioner, refuses to remain a victim and decides to replace her brother in joining the Kurdish resistance. Along with her sisters, she discovers the sweetness of others' lives, the strength of sisterhood, and the fear that these warriors inspire to jihadists, terrorized of being killed by a woman.

Based on genuine events


Zara's kidnapping combines several testimonies of Yazidi women who were first deported in August 2014 in Sinjar and went on to become fighters. On the battlefield, there are women fighters terrorizing Isis men who believe that being killed by women will deprive them of paradise.
