Acting
Cry of the Sky
Cry of the Sky is loosely about events that led to the collapse of the first Kurdish revolution of 1961 and the chaotic recovery of the resistance movement during the second half of the 1970s. The storyline takes its point of departure from the current situation in the Kurdistan region with the ongoing war between the Peshmerga and a new foe, the Islamic State (ISIS/Daesh).
