All the Mountains Give

About This Movie

All the Mountains Give quietly immerses you in a world often overlooked—an intricate web of smuggling between the Kurdish regions of Iran and Iraq. The film tracks Hamid and Yasser's grueling journey over six years, showcasing their resilience against harrowing circumstances. It’s raw and unvarnished, with the pacing that deliberately mirrors the uncertainty of their lives. The cinematography captures stark landscapes that feel as much a character as the men themselves. The atmosphere is thick with tension, yet there's an underlying pulse of hope that runs through their struggle. This documentary feels distinct, not just for its subject matter but for how it humanizes the trials faced by those caught in geopolitical turmoil.
