Anarchy and war have engulfed the Middle East. It is hard to tell, how the wars will evolve but one thing is sure - the Middle East as we know today will be forever scared by the rivers of blood. Meanwhile, the ancient struggle for independence of the Kurdish people rises from its ashes. Their population is estimated at 30 - 40 million. They are the largest nation without a country of their own, scattered between Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria. The Kurdish people are currently at war with the Islamic State, which is trying to take their territories, the most famous battlefields being Syrian Kobane municipality, Kirkuk province and Mount Sinjar, both in Iraq. Slovene war correspondent Erik Valencic has visits this parts on his own, with a camera in hand. Together with Kurdish fighters he spends days at the front lines and manages to get into the middle of fighting against IS - a feat no other reporter has achieved. Fronte Kurdistana will take the viewer to the heart of Iraq and Syria civil wars and present the longstanding Kurdish struggle for independence in the most dangerous part of the world. (2015)
