BEYOND BORDERS

Since the old imperial era to modern nation-states, borders have been symbols of forced division and oppression for the Kurds. In the face of adversity, many members of the Kurdish community have made homes in countries far away from their ancestral lands. This theme is dedicated to films that shed a light on the effects of these borders on Kurdish lives, and also films that are about war refugees, and the diasporic Kurdish communities.
