InfosBêmal - HeimatlosGER 2024, Documentary, 86 min, Subtitled. Directors: Düzen Tekkal, David Körzdörfer. After the genocide of the Yazidi community by the so-called 'Islamic State' in 2014, thousands of survivors sought refuge in Germany. Many continue to live in fear of being uprooted again. The film follows four pairs of Yazidi siblings who survived IS terror and found their way to Germany. With great openness, they share their traumas, the loss of their homeland, their hopes for a new life, and the danger of potential deportations that could make them lose everything once more. Bêmal - the Kurdish word for 'homeless' - symbolizes a generation caught between remembering, surviving, and the desperate wish for safety.
