Our new friend Azad, from Hakkari, tells us that Newroz is not just an ancient event of all the people of Mesopotamia. From Palestine to Afghanistan. For kurdish people Newroz is a school of life. The only way to affirm their roots.

Every year, during Newroz days, an Italian Delegation travels to lots of Turkish Kurdistan villages, in order to avoid problems caused by turkish repression.

This film is a reportage about Newroz 2010.

"Mountains are the most beautiful thing in kurdish revolution, where kurdish people are born. Their school is among the rocks, their universities are in Diyarbakir prison."
