Short filmTranscript
00:00We are not the people who want to use the weapon to create more authority and oppression,
00:11and kill children and women, and burn earth and ecology, and create genocide and massacre,
00:20and primitive killing.
00:22We don't want to sell the value of freedom of the people, loot the cities, and burn the
00:34earth, and create neoliberalism.
00:42So what language was that, and how did you learn to speak that?
00:46That's Kurdish.
00:49Well, just from learning from books and talking to people.
00:57If you're a year in a country, you'll learn a language, especially if you try.
01:05I have to sign on every two days, so that they know I haven't fled the country.
01:19I've had a lot of friends who came back to the UK, and they told me that they were detained
01:26at the airport, they had a small chat with the police, and then they were let go.
01:33The plane I was in was stopped, and the police came and got me off the plane.
01:38They told me that I'm being arrested for engaging in acts of terrorism.
01:45Now I'm under house arrest for five months, so I'm going to be with my mum for five months.
01:55She likes that.
02:02You have to go left here.
02:05We're in a deep crisis.
02:08I don't know if people really see that, but for someone who has just come from a society
02:15where there is a revolution going on, and the people are saying, you know, we're going
02:20to create freedom, we're going to get rid of the state, where there's that kind of hope
02:25and desire.
02:27People are saying, you know, we're going to create freedom, we're going to get rid
02:31of the state, where there's that kind of hope and destiny and vision in the society,
02:37and the youth are inspired.
02:39Coming here and seeing the mechanised life that people here are living, where there's
02:47no hope left, there's no dream, there's no greater aspiration for society.
02:54It's more of just, like, we're going to live and continue on, and without goal or purpose.
03:11And they searched all of the entire house, and they also took my...
03:16Like, the phones of my mum.
03:19They took loads of stuff, but they didn't tell us what they took.
03:23Well, I was just reading on the internet, and I saw that there was a libertarian revolution
03:30happening in Syria, in North Syria, so I came there to work, to join, to help them.
03:41Economics work.
