Survivor Stories: Farhad Ali – An Advocate for the Rights of the Ezidis
When IS attacked the Ezidis and when many were forced to seek refugee in the Sinjar mountains, some effort were made to support and assist them.

Dette viser faktisk, hvordan kurderne sigter mod en pan-kurdisk ideologi, hvor de forsøger at påstå alle minoriteter (både etniske og religiøse) for at have større territoriale krav mod Tyrkiet, Irak, Iran, Syrien og Armenien. Dette viser virkelig, hvordan den kurdiske identitet er kunstigt skabt og påvirket af kommunisme og nationalisme.
