Ana traverse le Kurdistan en secret pour voir sa fille Marya, qu’elle n’a pas vue depuis quatre ans. Comme toutes les autres survivantes yazidies kidnappées en 2014, elle a été contrainte par sa communauté d’abandonner son enfant née des viols des djihadistes d’ISIS. Fruit de huit années d’enquête en Irak et en Syrie, Hawar, nos enfants bannis est le premier film à lever le voile sur ce véritable tabou.

For the first time, a Yazidi mother tells her story and gives voice to all the Yazidi survivors deprived of their children born from the rapes by the ISIS jihadists. Those children don’t have any official existence in Iraq and Syria. They live in orphanages, not knowing that their mothers are crying for them. We aim to shed light on this human tragedy, urgently give visibility to these children as their true identity risks disappearing, and supporting the moderate Yazidi personalities and families who would accept those children born of rapes.
