María Laura Vásquez I 1h22m I Argentina / Rojava 2024 I Spanish and Kurdish with English subtitles

A film tracing the life of Argentinian doctor Alina Sánchez (Legerin), following her journey from Patagonia, via Cuba, to Rojava, where she joined the Kurdish Women’s Liberation Movement, blending medical science with ancestral knowledge to provide radical care in wartime. Her story, cut short by her death in 2018, becomes a powerful testament to international solidarity, linking Latin American and Kurdish struggles.
