Yazidi family fleeing persecution gets stuck at Idomeni refugee camp – Idomeni Chapter 1/11

In March 2016, over 10,000 people were trapped in a camp outside the small Greek border village of Idomeni. The border had been closed to all people fleeing. Nadia and Nawaf had one objective, to get to Germany, to where their eldest son already arrived. They stayed with their six other children in several different camps in Greece. Yasir’s wife was an ISIS-prisoner. And many in Yasir’s family had been brutally killed by ISIS when they attacked the Yazidis in Iraq. Idomeni is a place suspended in time, and the film is shaped by scenes from the parallel lives of adults and children in the camp. The children do not go to school, but live in their own world and take care of each other, having little contact with their surrounding. The film catches their bubble and shows: they are tomorrow’s Europe.
