As part of International Women’s Day, the ZKM will be showing a documentary film about the life of Sakine Cansiz (pseudonym: Sara) in cooperation with the Kurdish Social Centre.

Sara is a founding member of the Kurdish liberation movement PKK and a symbol and role model for the Kurdish women’s movement.
