Stefano leaves for Iraqi Kurdistan with the aim of reporting on the Peshmerga training in Erbil. When he gets to the green zone and meets these men, he notices that their uniforms are haphazardly put together, their weapons are not mass-produced, and even the shoes they wear are all different, and often unsuitable for the mountains and guerrilla warfare. These units of fighters, on first impression, had very little of the figure of the soldier as we are used to considering it in our imagination. And indeed, the Peshmerga are a self-proclaimed army, defending the borders of a state that does not legally exist, and they are Kurds. But the Kurds are also something different from our imaginary. We usually identify them with a people who are warriors and yet always victims of someone else's brutality, but the Kurds are also executioners and also brutal. The Kurds, and the Peshmerga, are first and foremost human beings, with their weaknesses, their vanities, their anxieties, their internal conflicts. Peshmerga is a photographic account of a fighting unit that we would hardly know how to place geographically at first glance, and yet is so inherently, unavoidably Kurdish.
