Jiyan (Life in Kurdish) is a 2001 film written and directed by the Kurdish director Jano Rosebiani.[1]
Diyarî, a Kurdish-American returns to his hometown of Halabja, to build an orphanage five years after the chemical bombing. There, he meets Jiyan and Şêrko, orphan survivors of the attack. During his stay in the town, Diyarî brings a short lived spark of hope and happiness to the children's lives, and as he leaves, the orphans go back to their lonely lives. Diyarî leaves tearful Jiyan at the place where they met first: on a swing under a lonely tree on a small hill.
