Alexandria Bombach's 'On Her Shoulders' is the winner of the Sundance Film Festival's Directing Prize and the winner of the Camden Film Festival's Award for Best Documentary. The film presents a deeply moving portrait of Yazidi genocide survivor-turned-global advocate Nadia Murad. The twenty-three-year-old's life is a dizzying array of important undertakings-from giving testimony before the U.N. to visiting refugee camps to soul-bearing media interviews and one-on-one meetings with top government officials. The film follows this strong-willed young woman, who escaped sexual slavery at the hands of ISIS to become a relentless beacon of hope for her people.
