Acclaimed Kurdish director Bahman Ghobadi (“No One Knows About Persian Cats”) penned an open letter two days ago to Turkish Prime Minister Ahmed Davutoglu, urging Turkish action against ISIS in Kobani, which is poised to fall to the militants. A largely Kurdish town, it is also a strategic target for ISIS, Syria and Turkey, which has largely abandoned the Kurds there to their fate. Ghobani has kindly allowed The Daily Beast to publish his letter in the hopes that help will come before it’s too late.
