Dear friends:
        A new Kurdish movie has just appeared, entitled "The Silent Traveller" 
[Karewanek^i b^edeng]. It is in Badinani Kurdish with excellent English 
subtitles.  Made in Greece, this films recounts the story of the peshmerga 
Mahm^d^e Yezid^i and his band in Kurdistan of Iraq during the period of the 
Baathist regime [late sixties and early seventies].  
        If I am not mistaken, it is adapted from a story by the Kurdish writer 
Ibrahim Selman.  The directors and producers are from the Bamerni family.
