Night and Fog in Kurdistan is a documentary by a Kurdish female filmmaker that follows seven Yazidi teenage girls who survived the 2014 ISIS genocide.

Using illustration, self-storytelling, and first-person perspectives, the film lets the girls share their own experiences of survival and adaptation.
