In this installment of the Jordan Brand's 'Rise Above' documentary series by SB Nation, we meet Leylan, a 20-year-old student at the American University of Iraq Sulaimani. In a land where women don't possess basic rights, the idea of an all-female basketball team sounds impossible. But today, Leylan captains a team of young women who are finding empowerment and a new sense of self on the court.
