Son of the Mountains is a true Kurdish story.

The ethnic persecution of the Kurds shadows Soran throughout his life, culminating in his imprisonment in Iran’s political prison in 1985.
His escape to Canada in the 1990’s gives him a chance at a new life, but births its own struggles—he’s now the father of a daughter navigating life as a young adult.

An intergenerational story of love, loss, and resilience, Son of the Mountains shows us that even when we leave our homeland, its essence never truly leaves us.
