Gulîstan, Land of Roses (French title: Gulîstan, terre de roses) is a 2016 feature-length documentary film about women guerillas in a Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) Free Women's Unit, in combat against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), directed by the Kurdish Montreal filmmaker Zaynê Akyol.

[1][2][3] The film was conceived and named for a woman, Gulîstan, who had been a role model for the director in her adopted home in Montreal, until she left to fight with the PKK.

That made the focus of the film shift yet again to documenting the experiences of women like Gulîstan.

[6] In November 2016, the filmmaker received the award for Best New Talent from Quebec/Canada at the Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal.

[1] Étienne Roussy won the Prix Iris for Best Cinematography in a Documentary at the 19th Quebec Cinema Awards in 2017.
