whatever western says "it must be true".

Sure, Sean Connery is a brilliant actor but I doubt the ability of a Scotsman to entirely lose his accent in favour of a Kurdish one! But I expect it will be an interesting film.

There is no glory in tribalism.
Tribalism seals the fate of most Kurds. They are so tied up with crap like feodalism, tribalism, honor killings etc, they find it difficult to elevate themselves to status of free citizens of a nation - they can not succeed in breaking away from the tribal slavery and tribal masters.

Are Americans paying for the film?
