I would really like to see some Kurdish actors and actresses play these roles!

Someone who could fit the cultural image, speaking style, and the like. Other than that, I have no idea!

Great point jos! Kurdish actors would be best! I'm fine with subtitles too.

Self -representation is such a big issue in Hollywood and the entertainment industry as a whole. I think the only actors that could do this book justice would be if they were Kurds themselves.

Agreement with other postings about the actors. Definitely need to see someone who can bring the Kurdish culture to the role without just “acting”.
