In 2014, jihadist forces overran the Yazidi religious community in Northern Iraq, kidnapping the women and forcing them to work as sex slaves. Survivor Nadia Murad managed to escape, but to get the world's attention, she must retell her painful story countless times. This powerful documentary about the Nobel Peace Prize laureate talks about her peaceful life before ISIS came to her village, as well as her determination to ensure that the international community works to protect women everywhere from sexual assault and slavery.
