The YPG is an all-female branch of the Syrian Democratic Forces, a group that has actively fought against ISIL in the Northern part of the country and has been heavily involved in major battles in the war-torn country since the middle of the last decade. They are a relatively progressive branch of the military designed to challenge traditional Islamic roles for women and strike fear into the heart of enemies who believe that if they are killed by a member of the opposite sex that they will not get what they have been promised in the afterlife. While there have been a number of great documentaries about Syria in the last few years like “For Sama,” “Last Man in Aleppo,” and “Girls of the Sun,” which is about the women fighters of Syria, the YPG still feels like one of the last decade’s great untold stories in most households. It should have been fertile ground for a team of writers to craft a mini-series like “No Man’s Land,” on Hulu. But telling stories of women who put their lives on the line in Syria must have been too daunting for the creators of this show because the YPG becomes a relatively faceless backdrop for the stories of men who get caught up in the combat in this 8-episode series. Centering men in a show called “No Man’s Land” about a women’s liberation army is misguided at best and arguably worse.
