David the Tolhildan - 5 November 2007- 8:00 pm in LONDON‎

Swiss | 2007 | 54 mins | dir. Mano Khalil

The documentary film ‘David the Tolhildan’ is a portrait of David Roullier, a young ‎Swiss man who joined the Kurdish freedom movement PKK five years ago. Roullier, the ‎son of a former President of the Swiss Federal Supreme Court, gave up a comfortable and ‎safe existence in Switzerland, and the amenities of a western lifestyle, to commit his life ‎and strength to the ideals of the Kurdish freedom fight.‎

Is he an adventurer, a dreamer, an idealist, a hero? Is his commitment visionary or ‎illusory?‎

‎‘David the Tolhildan’ encourages viewers to confront their own outlook on oppression , ‎respect, human dignity, freedom and violence. It also provides an impressive, realistic ‎and up-to-date view of the current situation of the Kurdish freedom movement.‎
