Aryan and Boharin are the two commanders of the Women's Protection Unit, the toughest all-female commando unit fighting against ISIS in the Syrian countryside. For them, war is the only path to emancipation from a deeply patriarchal and religious society. As they launch a military operation to reach the city of Kobane, we discover the life of women combatants; their sacrifices, their dreams and their ideals, along the road to Kobane where they will ultimately arrive as liberators. For these women, freedom and emancipation comes at a very high price. But as they say: “It's better to live one day in this freedom than a whole life enslaved”.
