December 2014: Mount Sinjar, west of Mosul in Iraq, is fully surrounded. Every escape route is cut off. Trapped in the villages below are thousands of civilians — Yazidi Kurds, Muslims, and Christians — with nowhere to run.
The fighting is relentless — street by street, house by house. Underequipped Kurdish fighters face an overwhelming siege. As the noose tightens, survival becomes a desperate struggle.
This documentary takes you to the heart of a forgotten chapter in the war — where courage, chaos, and human resilience collide.
