Her War: Women Vs. ISIS

Runtime
53 min
Documentary

Synopsis

The YPJ (Women's Protection Units) is an all-female unit of Kurdish and Arab women who are fighting ISIS in Syria. Previously unheard of until 2012, the YPJ is comprised of volunteers from towns and villages that came under threat as the terror group extended its influence and started committing atrocities against the local population. These new recruits joined the group not only to protect their families from ISIS militants, but also to create a new feminist, socialist and democratic society, a ""revolution within a revolution"".

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
