Iraqi Kurdistan. What happens to war zones after the spotlights go off? One year after the harsh conflict against ISIS, the scars of war remain. Yet life persists, gradually returning to a semblance of normality. This reality serves as a vivid and painful reminder while also representing a collective act of liberation. War is Over stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
"This remarkable, captivating film proceeds with a calm, measured faith in the viewer's capacity to grasp its message without the need for editorializing."
"It paints without words an overwhelmingly hopeful picture of human resilience that is difficult not to find affecting. The inclusion of a great many children in the scenes – the film notes briefly at the beginning that the war against ISIS left over a million people in need, half of them under the age of eighteen – contributes to the overall spirit of supple joy that pervades the documentary."
