0001 00:00:34:06 00:00:38:10
Good day. Welcome.
0002 00:01:05:01 00:01:06:15
How are you, comrade?
- I'm all right.
0003 00:01:06:18 00:01:08:20
What's your name?
- My name is Haron.
0004 00:01:08:23 00:01:11:06
You're welcome here.
- Thank you.
0005 00:01:24:19 00:01:28:00
How long have you been in Kobani?
0006 00:01:28:03 00:01:30:22
I've been here for six months.
0007 00:01:32:01 00:01:35:00
Did you come here for the war?
- Yes, I did.
0008 00:01:49:19 00:01:52:12
What's your job in this war?
0009 00:01:52:15 00:01:55:05
I'm a sniper.
0010 00:01:57:03 00:02:01:21
Did you kill any members of IS?
0011 00:02:06:08 00:02:09:15
We call them in Kobani.
0012 00:02:20:00 00:02:23:24
Did you kill people or not?
Who were they?
0013 00:02:24:02 00:02:28:07
Where did they come from?
What did they want?
0014 00:03:24:02 00:03:27:05
They come here...
0015 00:03:27:08 00:03:31:21
...to kill in the name of Islam.
If I don't kill them...
0016 00:03:31:24 00:03:34:17
...they will kill me and my people.
0017 00:03:50:04 00:03:53:12
IS attacked our country.
0018 00:03:53:15 00:03:57:21
That's when I decided to go to Kobani
to defend it.
0019 00:04:03:19 00:04:07:21
They're attacking civilians.
0020 00:04:10:23 00:04:14:16
They destroy everything
and they're beheading people.
0021 00:04:15:01 00:04:20:03
They kidnap women
and sell them as sex slaves.
0022 00:04:24:10 00:04:29:01
Those inhuman activities...
0023 00:04:29:05 00:04:31:05
...had a big impact on me.
0024 00:04:52:06 00:04:55:10
Snipers like to be alone.
0025 00:04:55:13 00:05:04:02
They are assertive and work on their own.
0026 00:05:08:00 00:05:10:17
I'm good at aiming...
0027 00:05:11:14 00:05:14:23
...and I'm patient.
0028 00:05:17:22 00:05:28:20
To be a good sniper
you have to have those qualities.
0029 00:05:48:13 00:05:52:09
As soon as I'm all set up...
0030 00:05:52:12 00:05:56:06
...I try to guess the distance
between myself and my enemy.
0031 00:05:56:09 00:06:03:08
A sniper has to be good at math.
0032 00:06:03:11 00:06:07:04
For example the distance,
the speed of the wind...
0033 00:06:07:07 00:06:09:11
...the walking speed of the enemy...
0034 00:06:09:14 00:06:15:14
You have to know those things
in order to be effective.
0035 00:06:18:09 00:06:26:16
I don't have any equipment
to calculate those things.
0036 00:06:26:19 00:06:32:06
I trust my instincts to calculate everything.
0037 00:07:14:21 00:07:23:03
If someone is running
you have to shoot in front of them.
0038 00:07:26:18 00:07:33:01
If I calculate this right,
the bullet and the person collide.
0039 00:07:38:21 00:07:44:11
After I've shot them I check their bodies.
0040 00:07:44:14 00:07:48:03
Sometimes they turn out to be children.
0041 00:07:48:06 00:07:51:05
But I didn't know that.
0042 00:07:52:24 00:07:59:17
I had no choice. If I hadn't shot them,
they would've killed me.
0043 00:07:59:20 00:08:04:11
Of course that upsets me.
It makes me sad.
0044 00:08:11:21 00:08:16:18
Of course they haunt me
in my nightmares.
0045 00:08:44:07 00:08:46:13
It's going to be OK.
0046 00:09:50:21 00:09:53:24
You are always welcome here.
- Thanks.
0047 00:10:47:02 00:10:51:16
My dreams are over. But I want
a better life for generations to come.
0048 00:10:51:19 00:10:57:03
The things I've been through
I wouldn't wish on anyone.
0049 00:10:57:06 00:11:02:00
The next generation deserves
a better life, especially the children.
0050 00:11:02:03 00:11:07:04
They should speak their own language
and live in their own culture.
