Amazons (2018)

Amazons is a documentary series about women who take up arms. Phara de Aguirre meets armed women all around the world: from FARC fighters in Colombia, to female PKK fighters and Peshmerga in Iraqi Kurdistan, to three generations of armed women on both sides of the wall in Israel and Palestine: top terrorist and hijacker Leila Khaled, Ahed Tamimi, female Israeli soldiers, all of them with their own story. She investigates why these women made this radical choice and what the consequences are for themselves and their relatives. Did they achieve what they hoped for? What sacrifices did they make? And was it all worth it?
