On Her Shoulders - RYOT & Red Reel

The artfully shot and edited documentary film chronicled a war crimes survivor’s story, using dense narrative layers to give context to an underreported international human rights crisis: ISIS’s persecution of the Yazidi people.

DuPont Director Lisa R. Cohen spoke with director Alexandria Bombach for the On Assignment podcast. The conversation (like Bombach’s film) puts out a call to action for journalists and filmmakers to think about the stories we tell, how we tell them and most importantly, why.
