Director: Anne Poiret
Producer: Estelle Mauriac
Description:
There are believed to be some one hundred thousand
children that have been fending for themselves since the battle
against ISIS. From orphans in the streets of Mosul to the children
of ISIS, whose families had pledged allegiance to the caliphate.
Since their existence is not legally recognized, they have no I.D.,
and therefore no access to education, medical care, or food
assistance. Since the fall of ISIS, tens of thousands of children
have also been held in camps along with the most radicalized of the
women. They are living in catastrophic sanitary and humanitarian
conditions that have only worsened with the Covid-19 crisis. An
unprecedented investigation into a generation of young victims of the
war against the Islamic State. How can we help them to believe in the
future and to find a place in society, so that they do not become a
threat to the international community?
