August 3, 2024 marked the tenth anniversary of the genocide committed by the so-called “Islamic State” against the Yazidis in northern Iraq. The terrorist militia wanted to wipe out the religious minority. Thousands of Yazidis were killed, enslaved or displaced. The documentary accompanies young Yazidis who survived this genocide. Four siblings tell of violence, captivity, enslavement and humiliation, but also of courage, hope and new beginnings.
