10 Years of Darkness: Isis & The Yazidis
In 10 Years of Darkness: ISIS & The Yazidis, award-winning British journalist Alex Crawford delivers an in-depth portrait of a community that has faced unimaginable violence. The documentary chronicles the systematic slaughter of the Yazidi people in Sinjar in 2014, the mass abductions of women and children, and the ensuing humanitarian crisis that still reverberates today with many Yazidi women still enslaved 10 years on. Through original, on-the-ground eye-witness footage of rescue operations in detention camps and moving family reunions, Crawford brings into sharp focus the Yazidi community’s relentless search for the missing and their ongoing fight for justice.
