DIRECTED BY HOGIR HIRORI
A riveting and shocking documentary, SABAYA follows a group of volunteers who risk their lives to rescue Yazidi women and girls (a religious minority) held captive in one of the world’s most dangerous refugee camps. The Al-hol Camp, near the Iraqi-Syrian border, shelters 73,000 ISIS supporters. Hidden among them are thousands of Yazidis who’ve been forced into sexual slavery (termed sabaya). Mahmud and Ziyad launch carefully plotted, perilous late-night rescue missions, armed only with pistols and unreliable cell phones. Kurdish director Hogir Hirori courageously goes along for this white-knuckle ride, literally dodging bullets as the group makes their escape.
