A day in the life of a sniper fighting ISIS.
Kobani today calls up associations with Dresden in 1945 or Grozny in 2000. The destruction is immense.
Now showing on The Correspondent: a documentary short about a sniper fighting ISIS. Watch this truly moving documentary short (12 min.) from Filmmaker Reber Dosky (Dutch-Kurdish), who put his life on the line for a unique story – not once, but two times, and meet Haron, the sniper. Haron’s story is an extraordinary one. He is a Kurdish freedom fighter who came to Kobani to help put a stop to the horrors inflicted by ISIS. Haron speaks about what it takes to be a sniper, his dreams for the future, and his nightmares.
English translation in doc. by Erica Moore and Maria Sherwood-Smith.
