a| A documentary film based on Soviet archival footage about the life Yezidis. They represent a small community adherent to Yazdanism and inhabit up to present times a third of Kurdistan. They are primarily ethnic Kurds, but the extent to which they consider themselves as part and parcel of the Kurdish nation is still debated. Most Yazidis live near Mosul, Iraq with smaller communities in Syria, Turkey, Iran, Georgia and Armenia. The archival footage is dated 1928 and represents an excellent anthropological material on the ancient lifestyle of this people.
