Rashid, the boy from Sinjar

Jasna Krajinovic & 80' — 2025

After surviving Isis prisons as a child, Rashid has been reunited with his family in Sinjar, in northwestern Iraq. Now a teenager, this young Yazidi dreams of a brighter future in a country that is struggling to rebuild. But peace is fragile in Sinjar, and hatred against the Yazidi minority is resurfacing. On the threshold of adulthood, Rashid is reinventing himself amid the changes disrupting his daily life and wondering whether to leave or stay.
