A fabulous dengbêj video from Mehmûd Berazi, directed by Şêro Hindê.
Cer is a clay pot in which Kurds traditionally fermented cheese. In the video, women are making cheese in the pots but hiding bullets in one. A neighbor informs on them to Ottoman soldiers. The soldiers break a pot but find no bullets. The women drive them out of town and take the informant prisoner.

The New York Kurdish Cultural Center, established in 2017, seeks to nurture and showcase Kurdish contributions to the visual and performing arts, cinema, and literature. By creating venues for exhibitions and performances in the New York area, it further aims to foster community among Kurds and to build bridges with non-Kurdish communities.
The NYKCC creates spaces where Kurds and friends of Kurds may interact in safety. We do not tolerate discriminatory behavior based on race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or age.
