PREVIEW: MEDIHA + LIVE DIRECTOR Q&A
"Nobody would listen to me, so I told the camera." Before its wider theatrical release in the UK, we are proud to be hosting a preview of Hasan Oswald's award-winning documentary, followed by a live Q&A with the director. Please note that there will be no ads and trailers and the film will start at its advertised time.
Hasan Oswald's film, which won DOC NYC's Grand Jury Prize and counts Emma Thompson as an executive producer, composes a revelatory portrait of a 15-year-old Yazidi girl who escaped from ISIS. An incredible story of resilience, Mediha recounts a girl’s fight to find her missing family members, revealing the strength and determination of a young survivor as she reclaims her voice and future.
A teenager from northern Iraq, Mediha is a member of the Yazidi ethnic and religious minority. She’s also the survivor of an ISIS-orchestrated genocide in 2014. Through video diaries, Mediha provides an intimate account of her grief and trauma. The portrait that emerges leaves us in awe of the budding activist, who has already lived many lives and is nowhere near done.DocumentaryPT2HTBC2024-11-08Hasan Oswald
