A quiet film with little dialogue captures the vastness of the area which ISIS controlled and the terrible aftermath of their cruelty. One is transported into an geography few people, even Middle East observers, know much about. Yazidis, Kurds, Iraqis, Marsh Arabs, are depicted, without telling viewer where the spot being filmed is. The scene could be in southern Iraq, Baghdad, Kurdistan or Raqqa in Syria, yet no indication is given.
