Shingal, Where Are You?

In 2014, ISIS conquered Shingal and kidnapped 3,000 Yezidi women. In a deserted coalmine on the Turkish border, Yezidi refugees await their safe return. Through the eyes of an old man, a teenage boy and a family, the documentary portrays the burdens and dilemmas of this persecuted religious minority. Inconsolable, the Havind family talks on the phone with their kidnapped daughter and tries to ransom her freedom through a chain of intermediaries. The suffering is made more palpable when the family visits Shingal, which has been reduced to rubble.
