Nadia Murad is a UN Goodwill Ambassador for survivors of human trafficking, and is a Yazidi who was a captive of the Islamic State terror group.

The Plight of the Yazidis is the subject of a Vision TV – MZTV production called The New Holocaust.

It exposes mass atrocities by ISIS against the Yazidi people with a focus on the plight of persecuted minorities in the Muslim Middle East.
