Sinjar, Northern Iraq, 2014: Hanifa, a young Yezidi woman, miraculously survives the ISIS attack on the Yezidi religious and ethnic minority in the Sinjar region of northern Iraq. Hanifa escapes abduction by ISIS but her five younger sisters are all trucked off and enslaved. Based on an exclusive access to one of the most dangerous and underreported places on earth, Oscar and Emmy nominated filmmaker Hanna Polak tracks Hanifa’s mission to find her sisters and bring them home to keep the promise given to her dying father.
