Our take
Co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018, Nadia Murad is an extraordinary activist fighting to end sexual violence and genocide. This salient doc looks at her new life in the spotlight, asking if it’s fair to make victims relive their trauma when they already carry so much on their shoulders.
