Screening of the film Angels of Sinjar and meeting with the filmmaker Hanna Polak
Angels of Sinjar, by Hanna Polak, is a film about the Yezidi genocide and at the same time a heart-rending cry for justice. An exposé of a terrible crime against humanity, it reveals the horrors of a forgotten genocide and a people who are denied all of their rights—but it’s also a testament to their hope, courage and strength.
Hanna Polak is a Polish director, cinematographer and producer. For her short documentary, The Children of Leningradsky, about a community of homeless children living in the Leningradsky railway station in Moscow, she was nominated for an Academy Award and two Emmy Awards. In 2003, she was awarded Best Producer of Documentary Movies at the Kraków Film Festival for Railway Station Ballad. Making Angels of Sinjar took her six years of often very dangerous efforts and hard work.
