Synopsis
| Synopsis | In 2014, thousands of Yazidi women were kidnapped by Daech and reduced to sexual slavery. On her release, ‘Ana’ was forced to abandon the baby she had had as a result of the rapes she had suffered. Considered ‘bastards’, all children born of rape by the jihadists were rejected by the Yazidi community. After four years apart, Ana sneaks across Kurdistan to see her daughter Marya again. |
