About
A young Yazidi kidnapped by Islamic State as a child returns to his family in Sinjar and dreams of a better future as a teenager.
Rashid, the Boy from Sinjar follows Rashid, a young Yazidi from Sinjar in northwestern Iraq. As a child in 2014 he was kidnapped by members of Islamic State and taken with members of his immediate family from his hometown to a prison in Syria, until his father located them and arranged their release. Reunited with his family in Sinjar, he is now a teenager who dreams of a better future. The peace in Sinjar is fragile, and hatred against the Yazidi minority is resurfacing. Beginning in 2020, filmmaker Jasna Krajinovic follows several years in his life. The opening scene shows Rashid's grandmother narrating the creation story of the world while a camera captures a city reduced to rubble.
