Angelina Jolie's Powerful New Films Tell The Stories Of Women Captured By ISIS

Amusha, a 58-year-old woman from Iraq's Yazidi minority, last saw her daughter being driven away by militants of the Islamic State group. The fighters attacked Amusha's village last year, killed the men and rounded up the women. "They brought buses and packed them with young, beautiful girls," Amusha said of that day, adding that she believes her daughter was brought to the Islamic State's headquarters in Syria and sold as a slave.
Amusha told her story in one of two new short films produced by Angelina Jolie, the actress and special envoy for the United Nations' high commissioner for refugees. Jolie made the films during her visit to a Kurdish refugee camp in northern Iraq last month. They were published on The Guardian website on Tuesday to coincide with the opening of an academic center at the London School of Econonmics to combat violence against women in war zones.
Jolie's documentaries tell the stories of some of the women captured by the Islamic State group as well as their families. They provide a devastating glimpse of the horror endured by over 2 million Iraqis who fled their homes during the onslaught.
