«Мы воюем не ради конкретного народа, а ради человечества», — говорит командир женского отряда курдских сил самообороны, занявшего позиции на окраине Ракки. Наряду с солдатами армии правительства Сирии против «Исламского государства» сражаются курды, бойцы Сирийской свободной армии, других группировок, немало добровольцев из Европы.

Фильм снят каналом Russia Today, которые западные СМИ называют пропагандистки:

Dr. Akhiv, a veteran military doctor considers his work a “sacred calling.” Adham, a frontline nurse, joined the field hospital after his brother was killed fighting ISIS. Sema, a Kurdish female commander, left her family to join the fight.

He left his girlfriend and a comfortable life to do something about them himself. The film was shot by the channel Russia Today, which the Western media call propagandistic:
