With Dreams' Gate Negin Ahmadi embarks on a personal journey into the combat zone of northern Syria to explore what it means to be a woman. Alone with her camera, she seeks answers to her questions by encountering women who embody the strongest contemporary myth of female strength and freedom: Kurdish female fighters. The personal search and internal struggles transform into an intimate womanly diary written in the first person. Following, sharing, and witnessing the lives of these Kurdish women challenges the director's self-image and raises questions about the cost of equality and freedom in this troubled region.​
