UNCOVERING: Heroes of Sundance-winning documentary stole children

The internationally acclaimed SVT (Swedish Television) documentary ”Sabaya” tells the story of two men saving Yazidi women who were enslaved by ISIS from Syria’s al-Hol camp.

Kvartal can now reveal that the film’s protagonists forced several of those women to be separated from their children, promising they would later be reunited. Instead, the children were offered for sale to ISIS.

– They tricked us, they took us to their homes, and then they took our children from us, one of the women says.

– The movie is significantly based on a falsehood, states Peter Galbraith, former US ambassador.

A previously unknown audio recording shows that director Hogir Hirori was told one of the protagonists treated the women ”worse than ISIS”.
