By concentrating on the individual we come to understand the many. This beautifully crafted film allows us to learn about the Yazidi genocide while we get to know and admire one of its survivors. The strength of Nadia Murad transcends the horrors perpetrated against the Yazidi and in doing so gives them a much needed victory. The filmmakers clearly had Nadia's trust, they didn't waste the opportunity she gave them. This is a powerful and important film about an inspirational young woman.
