The purpose of this trip was to journey into the deepest corners of Iraq where the oldest monotheistic religion in the world, the Yazidi people are currently exiled in large populations outside of from their homes and villages in refugee camps after fleeing for their lives from the enslavement, genocide and torture at the hands of ISIS extremist.
I hope you enjoy this series. My intention as a filmmaker has never been to exploit anyone for the purpose of entertainment but to inform and show the public the urgent need for recognition needed by these people from the Global Community. I believe this journey and series will however make you laugh, cry, and ideally see the beauty of a people who have lost everything and been through things unimaginable and yet they maintained their dignity are fighting for their lost brothers and sisters and seeking recognition by the United Nations for peace, protection and their homes back.
I hope you are inspired.
