A difficult, uncomfortable, but important film for all
Tonight I went to the Curzon Bloomsbury to watch ‘On Her Shoulders’, a documentary that follows the journey of Nadia Murad, a survivor of the 2014 Yazidi genocide, activist, and the co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize 2018.

It’s a film that I recommend you all to watch.

‘On Her Shoulders’ is the story about the interplay between desperation and determination. It is the story of Nadia’s quiet but persistent fight for the recognition of, and justice for, herself, her family, and the Yazidis people. It’s the story of a reluctant leader, who chose to shoulder this unyielding burden, to stand as a symbol of hope, when many others have abandoned theirs.

Before I watched this film, I knew a little about the Yazidis, I knew that genocides are happening around the world, even at this very moment. There’s the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, and the genocide in South Sudan is still ongoing. I knew all that. But these issues are always placed on the back of my mind. After all, talking and thinking about refugees, death, enslavement, and rape are very heavy and uncomfortable topics. And we tend to shy away from difficult and uncomfortable things.

Nadia’s story comes from a very different (and more difficult) part of the world than we’re accustomed to; and initially, it can seem very detached from our everyday lives. But by attending the screening, it forced me to confront this uncomfortable reality, and realise that someone else’s reality is actually our collective reality.

The cinematography, film score and editing of the film were OK, nothing spectacular. I believe the director (Alexandria Bombach) purposefully striped everything back to not take anything away from the story. This would explain the 7.1/10 score (good, but not great) it currently has on IMDb. But you should watch it not because of how it’s directed/edited, but because of the importance of the story. It’s an invitation for you to spend 95 minutes to walk in her shoes and understand their struggle.

It’ll help you to be more empathetic, to see everything in a broader perspective, and perhaps even inspire you to act.

Disappointing Film about a Heroic Champion for her People
On Her Shoulders was received with some trepidation at Austin SXSW Film Festival. The fight for recognition of the genocide committed against the Yazidi people in Iraq by ISIS is an important one that deserves recognition. Unfortunately, this film is so muddled that it does a poor job in the effort. The film focuses on the personal struggle and harrowing tale of 23-year-old Nadia Murad to win recognition of the horrors that her people have undergone in the last few years. The film transforms the struggle to one person’s personal journey rather than focusing on the tragedy of an entire people. In so doing, it confuses as much as it informs. The questions at the showing were telling. Audience members asked about the history of the Yazidis which is not explained. The film provides little political context on the Yazidis, Iraq or ISIS leaving viewers with little understanding of the underlying issues. The film focused on the footage of Nadia’s travels in Canada, Germany and Greece which contained a lot of poorly edited and irrelevant material. Even the title is problematic since it tries to present a people’s struggle as dependent on a single young woman who the producer acknowledged was thrust into this role by accident when asked about it. The struggle doesn’t depend on Nadia and the film’s focus on her rather than on those who care about the Yazidis around the world does a disservice to their cause. The film concludes with Nadia’s appointment as UN Goodwill Ambassador for Human Trafficking. The position is almost irrelevant and does little for the Yazidi cause. This film is a well-intentioned misfire. The Yazidis deserve a better profile of their cause and more direction on how others can help them move forward.
