‘착한 쿠르드’는 미국의 숙적 이라크에 맞서 국경지역에서 무력 공방을 벌이고 있는 쿠르드, ‘나쁜’ 쿠르드는 터키에 대항하고 있는 PKK(쿠르드노동자정당) 게릴라를 말한다. 작품은 터키와 나토에 의해 철저히 이용당하는 쿠르드족을 담았다. A war of national liberation or war against terrorism? Filmmaker and acclaimed freelance journalist Kevin McKiernan poses this question at the outset of this stirring, provocative film shot in part by legendary cinematographer Haskell Wexler. It's all in how you define "good"and "bad". "Good Kurds" are those in Iraq: they are Saddam Hussein's victims, whom we want to help. "Bad Kurds" are those waging an armed insurrection against Turkey, an American ally: they are the receiving end of US weaponry. During the first Gulf War, McKiernan went to northern Iraq to cover the uprising against Saddam Hussein. Just a few miles away no one was covering the hidden war in Turkey. McKiernan determined he would report the story independently.
