The Tears of Mount Sinjar

Agrin, a joyful young woman with sweet dreams has great hopes for a promising future for herself and her family. She lives a peaceful life in a picturesque and harmonious village in the Sinjar Mountains in Iraq. She is unaware that everything is about to change.

In 2014, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) commence their attacks on the Kurdish Yazidi. So begins a series of endless nightmares for the Yazidi people. ISIS carries out massacres, rapes, and wholesale kidnapping. These crimes set the darkest fires to the life of Agrin and thousands of other people of Sinjar.

Agrin is in despair, the world having lost its value. She sees a woman fighting empty-handed with a heavily armed ISIS soldier. Her heroic death kindles in Agrin a burning desire to leave, and a need to breathe for her and her people.

Inspired by true events, this is the story of the survival of the Yazidi people against almost impossible odds.
