What The Wind Took Away. Life after a massacre

Despite having lost everything, the Yazidi women Hedil and Naam are struggling for a humane life for their families.

In the Yazidi massacre by the terrorist organisation "Islamic State" they were forced to leave their homeland and have finally found protection in a refugee camp.

Their situation seems hopeless, stuck between the dictatorship of ISIS and their dream destination: Europe.
