Storyline

After the impressive Gulistan, Land of Roses (VdR 2016), the Kurdish filmmaker Zaynê Akyol returns with these conversations with imprisoned members of the Islamic State, alternating their words with aerial views of the countryside. An unexpected look at a far-reaching current political issue and a film whose subject matter and rhythm create an impressive cinematic object.

Here is an astringent, devastating and truly extraordinary film that is hard work to watch, but entirely worth it.

Kurdish fundamentalist extremists and Western cultures...faint possibility of finding co-existence. normalises torture and murder in a burning hellscape of ancient repressive laws, fascinating, ugly, raw, and real; we need to know.

Despite its fair-minded approach, there's no fresh insights.

Rojek is a startling, terrifying account of just how good people turn to terrorism and justify their actions because of the brainwashing of religious zealots. It’s a truly disturbing doc, illuminating a mindset that is difficult to comprehend...
