Heval
When a British actor leaves his Hollywood career behind to join the Kurdish YPG in the fight against ISIS in Syria, opinions are divided. Some view him as a selfless hero taking on one of America’s most dangerous foes, while others see him as a volatile narcissist using the situation as a publicity stunt to boost his career. Upon completing his service, he finds himself unwelcome in both the UK and the US. Through insightful interviews with the actor, his supporters, critics, and leading experts, along with the actor’s own astonishing helmet-cam footage of intense battles and interrogations of ISIS fighters, “Heval” offers viewers an unparalleled look into the fight against evil and one man’s contentious involvement in it.
