Iraq's Lost Generation
52 min. | Closed Captioned
A film by Anne Poiret

Best documentary winner at the 2022 International Emmy® Awards, Iraq's Lost Generation is an unprecedented investigation into a generation of young victims of the war against the Islamic State and offers a voice to those minors, the social outcasts of a new Iraq that only a handful of NGOs are trying to help.

There are about several tens of thousands of “children of ISIS,” whose families had pledged allegiance to the caliphate. They’re stigmatized, and their existence is not legally recognized in “Post-ISIS” Iraq. Without I.D.'s, they have no access to medical care, food assistance, nor, above all, to education. Around the Mosul area, in Iraqi Kurdistan and Northeastern Syria, this documentary takes the form of a journey on war-torn lands, to meet this generation who endured the reign of the Islamic State, a war for liberation and its resulting violence, and now tries to find a future, between resilience and revenge.

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. 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?
