Faced by complexities that continue to affect rescue and accountability efforts eight years after the genocide, the siblings must turn to a network of Yazidi rescuers in the search for their missing family members.
The story takes place over three years, across Iraq, Turkey and Syria, highlighting the ongoing and long-lasting impact of ISIS atrocities. Mediha takes us on her quest for justice, confronting her trauma and pain through personal video diaries, and reclaiming her voice by initiating investigations into her perpetrator.
After the screening of the film, there will be time for a Q&A session with producer Annelise Mecca.
