“Good Kurds, Bad Kurds: No Friends But the Mountains” Film Screening

July 13, 2025 | 2:30 pm @ 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm

“Searing…delves deeply into the history and politics of Kurdistan.” –The New York Times

A war of national liberation or a war against terrorism? Film-maker and acclaimed freelance journalist Kevin McKiernan poses this question at the outset of this stirring, provocative award-winning film shot in part by legendary cinematographer Haskell Wexler. It’s all in how you define “good” and “bad”. Good Kurds, Bad Kurds (2001; 80 minutes) brings a sharp clarity to a complex history, while providing disturbing insight into immigration practices and U.S. foreign policy.

This screening is inspired by the current exhibition Vian Sora: Outerworlds and the Iraqi born artist’s recollection of watching this film at home with her brother as a young girl. Introduced by and Q and A following the screening with Director Kevin McKiernan.
