Captives on the Front lines: Yezidi former child soldiers who survived ISIS

Shot in Northern Iraq, this film explores the unbreakable brotherhood that developed between two Yezidi boys while they were kept as child soldiers under ISIS. Now as incredibly brave young men, they come together to discuss all that was unspeakable at the time, and try to figure out what the future holds for them in a country that refuses to acknowledge their plight.
