All the Mountains Give

Dir Arash Rakhsha, 2024, Iran, 1hr 31min Language : Kurdish with English Subtitles. HIFF Classification: 12A

A powerful account of the Kolbari covert goods trade between the Kurdish cities and towns of Iran and borders of Iraq. The film follows Hamid and Yasser over six years as they contend with the life threatening conditions they and their families have to face to survive. A rare insight into the plight of the Kurdish people, this is an elegant portrait of a marginalised people, where the palpable sense of risk and danger is contrasted with the gentle rhythms of family life under harsh conditions.
