Les Samedis du Documentaire: Rashid, l'Enfant de Sinjar

This documentary screening, part of the "Samedis du documentaire" series, presents Jasna Krajinovic's 2025 film "Rashid, l'enfant de Sinjar." The film follows Rashid, a young Yazidi survivor of Daesh prisons, as he returns to his family in the mountainous Sinjar region of northeastern Iraq. Now a teenager, Rashid dreams of a better future for his country amid fragile peace and resurgent hatred against the Yazidi minority.

The documentary, which won the Prix du patrimoine vivant at the Festival International Jean Rouch, offers an intimate portrait of resilience. Attendees can expect a powerful 80-minute film that explores themes of childhood lost and the struggle for reconstruction. The screening is free but requires reservation, and the venue is accessible to those with reduced mobility and mental disabilities.
