We catch up with 2019 duPont award winning director Alexandria Bombach about her latest film, “On Her Shoulders.” It’s an achingly beautiful 3-month snapshot of the life of activist and Yazidi genocide survivor, Nadia Murad. But it’s also a call to action for journalists and filmmakers, to think about the stories we tell, how we tell them and most importantly, why.
Alexandria Bombach is a cinematographer, editor and director from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her feature-length documentary ON HER SHOULDERS follows Nadia Murad, a 23-year-old Yazidi woman who survived genocide and sexual slavery by ISIS. Now free, Nadia must navigate the bureaucracy and fame of being a human rights figure.Bombach gives insight on how filmmakers and the media should portray stories of trauma. She also explains her decision to produce, shoot and edit all her own films.Follow Alexandria on Instagram @alexandriajbFor more info on Rough Cut visit https://www.roughcutpodcast.com/Jennie Butler on Instagram @jen_butSky Dylan-Robbins on Instagram @skydylanrobbinsRough Cut on Instagram @roughcutpodcast

Episode 132! We're finally catching up with all of the October releases we saw. If you're in Los Angeles, AFI Fest is going on now, but there are still tons of new independent & international films in theaters every week. Our key film is "Burning" (43:15) We also review the Danish thriller "The Guilty" (2:40), the homeless activism documentary "The Advocates" (7:15), the family documentary portrait "Lots of Kids, a Monkey and a Castle" (10:40), the intimate family drama "Life and Nothing More" (14:50), heart-wrenching documentary "On Her Shoulders" (24:40), wonderfully bizarre Swedish drama "Border" (31:40), and powerful LGBT period drama "1985" (38:20). Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.incompetech.com
Filmmaker Alexandria Bombach discusses her new documentary, "On Her Shoulders," and the challenges of telling Nadia Murad survivor's story and the Yazidi people.
On this edition of the Cinema Clash: Despite its faults, BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY will rock you with the music of Queen; Disney’s THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS is underwhelming but still serves its target demographic; VIPER CLUB misfires as a well-intentioned homage to journalists who put themselves in harm’s way; and the documentary ON HER SHOULDERS shares the remarkable story of 23-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner and genocide survivor Nadia Murad.
“On Her Shoulders” is Alexandria Bombach’s deeply moving portrait of Yazidi genocide survivor-turned-global advocate Nadia Murad. Winner of the Sundance Film Festival’s U.S. Documentary Directing Award and the prize for Best Documentary at the recent Camden Film Festival, the film focuses on Nadia’s life as the 23-year-old participates in a dizzying display of diplomacy—from giving testimony before the U.N. to visiting refugee camps to soul-bearing media interviews and one-on-one meetings with top government officials. In Friday’s “Leonard Lopate at Large,” Alexandria and co-producer Elizabeth Schaeffer Brown discuss this important film and the inspiring woman it profiles.
