It is with immense sadness that we mourn the passing of our friend and collaborator Latif Al-Ani. He was a beautiful soul, an incredible talent, and he had immense patience with us as we worked with him to realise our film. We hope that it will become a fitting tribute to him.

Piştî vekêşîna hêzên bîyanî ji Afganistanê gelek dîyare ku rojekê Dê ji Kurdistana başur u rojava jî derkevin.
Di van salên burî da gelek hêzen radikal u Diktator u bi hêz dibin. U hemî jî dijî Kurd u Kurdistanê ne.

Vêja pêwîste ku Kurd xwe bi hêz bikin.

At the post-screening Q&A for powerful Kurdish drama #Zagros w/ director #SahimOmarKalifa at VUE: “because the film is seen as Kurdish, some stars were afraid of being blacklisted, and didn’t want to work on it: they worried about the trouble they would get in Turkey” #edfilmfest
