In 2014, Daesh took control of Northern Iraq, home to the Yazidi community. They separated families, killing the men and kidnapping the women and girls, who were then “offered” to the jihad fighters. The reporter and filmmaker Pascale Bourgaux tells the story of the children born during this period of captivity, “the bastards of Daesh”, shedding light on this human tragedy.

Nel 2014, Daech ha invaso il nord dell'Iraq, dove vive la comunità Yezidi. Separano le famiglie, uccidono gli uomini e rapiscono le donne e le ragazze, che saranno "offerte" ai combattenti della jihad. La reporter e regista Pascale Bourgaux racconta la storia dei bambini nati da questa prigionia, i "bastardi di Daech", e fa luce su questo dramma umano.
