Empowering Voices: "Sara Yousif Case" Documentary Sponsorship

Kurdistan Region & Syria.

MHF proudly sponsors the upcoming documentary, "Sara Yousif Case," set for release in 2024 and currently in production. This compelling narrative sheds light on the profound impact of war on Sara Yousif and her family, who have endured immense challenges since 2019. Sara lost a leg, her brother Mohammed sacrificed his life, and another brother, Ahmed, suffered the loss of his right eye. Now residing in Sulaimani, the documentary unfolds in two pivotal steps:

1. Compilation of Evidence: Commencing with video evidence from 2019, the documentary meticulously captures the Yousif family's journey, providing an intimate portrayal of their lives in the aftermath of tragedy.

2. Sara's Art Exhibition: Central to the documentary's narrative is an art exhibition by Sara herself. Through her artwork, Sara vividly illustrates the far-reaching effects of war and economic conflict on children. This artistic perspective serves as the documentary's thematic core, emphasizing resilience and expression in the face of adversity.

This documentary endeavors to spotlight the profound repercussions of war on individuals and families, offering a poignant glimpse into the Yousef family's experiences. By combining personal footage with artistic representation, it seeks to evoke empathy and understanding among viewers.

Supporting such documentaries extends beyond highlighting critical cases; it is a testament to MHF's commitment to local filmmakers and talents. While the direct beneficiaries are Sara Yousif and her family, totaling six individuals, the project has the potential to impact a broader audience, fostering awareness and empathy for those affected by conflict. MHF's sponsorship contributes to the amplification of voices and narratives that deserve recognition and understanding.
