The Wild Men of Kurdistan
Directed by Franz Josef Gottlieb
Produced by Balcázar, CCC Filmkunst
A mid-century adventure tale of rescue and resistance against Ottoman oppression in Kurdistan, driven by action and moral conviction rather than introspection.
After dealing with the Shut in the Balkans, Kara Ben-Nemsi ('Karl the German') receives a firman (precious passport) from the padishah (Ottoman sultan) before he continues his travels through Kurdistan. Achmed El Corda, the son of Halef's Hadedhin Beduin tribe's sheik Mohammed Emin, has been captured by the machredsh (Turkish governor) of Mossul for resisting water seizure by his Turkish troops. Kara takes charge of the rescue.
