Peshmerga plot
An unlikely event: a battalion of fearless freedom fighters and a flamboyant French intellectual go on a warpath. The Kurdish peshmerga are the only ones fighting a man to man – or woman to man – fight against Islamic State, and with success. Bernard-Henri Lévy, an influential philosopher and writer, has previously reported from conflict zones such as Libya and Ukraine. In 2015 he is in Iraqi Kurdistan, to understand the peshmerga. Lévy marches with them from south to north for six months, towards the city of Mosul, always a few kilometers from the enemy. It is mainly a lot of driving through the open, sandy plains, often infested with mines. The traces of IS still remain in abandoned villages, although the threat also comes frighteningly close a few times.
