Friday 15th March: “My Sweet Pepper Land”.
After the fall of Saddam Hussein, Baran, a Kurdish independence war hero, resolves to accept a position in a godforsaken village at the borders of Iran and Turkey, an illegal trafficking Eldorado . There he meets Govend, a beautiful young woman who has come to work as the teacher in the newly-opened school despite her twelve brothers’ hostility to the idea. The result is a film of great cultural interest plus suspense and humour. (David Stratton)
