In this observational film, directed, shot and edited by Hogir Hirori, viewers meet Mahmud, Ziyad and their group, who armed with just a mobile phone and a gun risk their lives trying to save Yazidi women and girls being held by ISIS as Sabaya (sex slaves) in the most dangerous camp in the Middle East, Al-Hol in Syria. Premiere at Sundance Film Festival 2021 – Directing Award: World Cinema Documentary.

“This was the third time and the third documentary where I turned to Rough Cut Service. I will definitely seek help there again for my future projects. I am so grateful for all the feedback, tips and advice we received from the amazing Iikka and Erez from RCS. It helped us make the story in the film clearer, shorter. It helped us think differently and took the documentary to another level.” Hogir Hirori, director.
