So dangerous was the filming that Hogir Hirori, an Iraqi refugee who now lives in Sweden, directed and shot it all himself

TO RECRUIT young men to join its ranks, Islamic State offered unique inducements. Not only would they have a chance to kill God’s enemies; they would also have sex slaves.

The Yazidi women were captured when IS over-ran their villages. Typically, the holy warriors would murder all the men, and also the women they deemed too old to rape. Then they would load the young women into trucks and ferry them to a slave market. Even after the jihadists were defeated on the battlefield, they kept as many slaves as they could.

The film-maker, Hogir Hirori, disguises himself as a woman and films through a slit in his niqab. He also rides with the snatch team as they venture into the camp in the dead of night. The men stand guard with assault rifles while female volunteers, also armed, burst into a tent and check the inmates’ faces to see if they match photos of the missing.
