For much of her life, Simone Allmen was no stranger to dangerous situations. Having lived on a commune in New Mexico and hopping all over the world, she eventually found herself in L.A. falling in love with documentary filmmaking. In 2005, she travelled to Kurdistan and Iraq for what was supposed to be a short 3-week film project but what turned into an epic 4-year odyssey of trying to help tell the stories of the Kurdish people. Simone’s story is raw with no wrinkles smoothed out. Full of darkness and light, she teaches that no matter how many lifetimes you survive, there is always room for more, if you are audacious enough to show up for it.
