Return to Sinjar

Back to recent work
I follow Khalid Barkat (23) a Yezidi who fled Iraq when he was 16 to the Netherlands. He is becoming a human rights activist and law student in the Netherlands. After 7 years he is going back to Iraq for the first time, to see remaining family, speak to victims and see the situation to further his knowledge for his activism. He dreams of one day being a great human rights lawyer for his people.
