The Least We Can Do

On August 3, 2014, ISIS extremists began a campaign of genocide against the Yazidi, a religious minority in Northern Iraq. They murdered the men, forced the boys into ISIS military training camps, and enslaved the women and girls subjecting them to torture and rape in a fate that survivor Nadia Murad describes as "worse than death." The Least We Can Do follows a small group of women in British Columbia, Canada, who are relieved when the Canadian government votes to bring Yazidi women and girls as refugees to Canada and provide them with comprehensive trauma care for their unimaginable suffering. The women are horrified to later discover the government has not followed through on all its promises. The Yazidi were brought to Canada and then neglected. Trauma services are inadequate, unplanned and failing. As the group urges the government to keep its promise, they encounter unexpected support along the way. Featuring Yazidi survivor Adiba and Rev. Majed El Shafie, founder of One Free World International.
