On Her Shoulders (12A)

Documentary

Documentary about human rights activist Nadia Murad as she raises awareness of the persecution of the Iraqi Yazidi community by ISIS.


The critical consensus

Bombach clearly wants to shed light on the subject but takes it one step further by asking the audience to consider the morality of putting those seeking asylum through their paces.

On Her Shoulders is a compassionate, level-headed portrait of a remarkable woman. What it lacks in filmmaking fireworks, it makes up for in the sheer magnetism and moxie of its hero.

****(*)Ian Freer, Empire Online, 24/01/2019

This arresting documentary critiques the limits to western compassion as it follows the Iraqi activist and Isis rape survivor on her lonely human rights pilgrimage.
