This is a great film that tells the story of the war on ISIS from a Kurdish perspective. The casual viewer may think American, Iraqi and Russian forces were solely responsible for the destruction of the scourge known as ISIS but the Kurds were predominately the boots on the ground with minimal resources. One mistake was to have the French journalist with an eye patch, caused by the bombing of a media centre in Syria. This is where the real Journalist with an eye patch, Marie Colvin actually died. Perhaps it was a misguided tribute but for me proved a distraction. If you are looking for a neat bow that ties up the beginning, middle and end so that you can put it on a shelf, you won't find it. The stories of war unfortunately, are never ending sequels. What they serve to remind us is, that we are a lot better off than we think.
