Nadia Murad, a 23-year-old Yazidi, survived genocide and sexual slavery committed by ISIS. Repeating her story to the world with the help of renowned human rights lawyer, Amal Clooney, this ordinary girl finds herself thrust onto the international stage as the voice of her people. Away from the podium, she must navigate bureaucracy, fame and people’s good intentions.

Watch the trailer.

There will be a Q&A after the screening with Murad Ismael, Executive Director of YAZDA, and Haider Elias, President of YAZDA.

Tickets are $15 for members, $20 for non-members online and $25 onsite. The promo code for member pricing is HM2018.

This event is co-sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Greater Houston.
