Mediha and her brothers, Ghazwan and Adnan, are survivors. Abducted by the Islamic State and forced into slavery, they have at last regained their freedom and are trying to rebuild their lives. With no word of their parents or younger brother, they set out to find them, journeying for three long years across Iraq, Turkey, and Syria. Through Mediha’s eyes—and her personal video diaries confronting her past—this film sheds light on the Yazidi genocide, revealing the enduring aftermath of atrocities committed by the Islamic State.
