Captured by ISIS and sold into sex slavery at age 9, she was traded among four different men; her mother went missing, her younger brothers were also enslaved, and her entire community was systematically murdered. Hasan Oswald sensitively tracks the devastating aftermath of her escape and survival, empowering Mediha to share her experience through her own eyes and voice, as she seeks legal justice with the help of Yazidi rescuers and mounts a courageous search for her mother and, most of all, fights for healing.<\/p><p>Executive produced by Emma Thompson and Jason Loftus<\/p><p>For tickets and more information, visit Film Forum&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/filmforum.org\/film\/mediha\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">page<\/a>\u00a0<\/p><p><em>This film is not part of the New York Kurdish Film Festival but is being screened at Film Forum in a run that overlaps with NYKFF8.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Mediha&#8221; by Hasan Oswald MedihaUnited States, 2023Languages: English, Arabic, Kurmanc\u00ee, and Turkish with English subtitles90 minutes Synopsis: Mediha, a 15-year-old Yazidi girl, roams the fields surrounding a refugee camp in Northern Iraq with a camera, making intimate, poignant video diaries.
