INTO THE FIRE | Sinjar, Iraq | Coming Soon‍

Director: Orlando Von Einsiedel
DOP: Jaime Ackroyd
Prod.: Grain Media
Producer: Harri Grace
Editor: Katie Bryer

In 2018 I was lucky enough to shoot a once-in-a-lifetime documentary  in Iraq with a great friend  of mine Orlando Von Einsiedel. ‍The story follows an incredible Yazidi women called Hana, who is the team leader of a female landmine clearance squad in Sinjar Iraq.

The Yazidi population experienced the most inhumane treatment at the hands of ISIS just over a year ago, the stories were so brutal it was hard to believe. However despite that, many incredibly, brave and tough women are rebuilding their region little by little with the incredible work they are doing, clearing landmines that were left by ISIS on an industrial scale. ‍

If you unaware please check out the amazing work that MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is doing around the world to tackle the most sadistic and long-lasting affect of war.
