On Thursday, I went to @warstudies to see an extraordinary dramatisation of the Yazidi genocide: a 12 minute virtual reality tour through the horror that destroyed Sinjar & its neighbouring villages in 2014.
I wish everyone could see it - especially MPs.

I felt myself transported back to the scenes of devastation I witnessed back in 2016, when I visited Sinjar, & saw how utterly the lives of the Yazidis had been destroyed. It was though these photos I took then were coming back alive. All it needed was the heat & the stench. 
When I spoke to this man, I assured him the world would not forget the Yazidis. He told me otherwise. 'Muslim countries care about Muslims, Christian countries care about Christians. But there are no Yazidi countries."
So far, he has been proved right.

If there are people in the UK with spaces where @NbdyListeningVR's film could be shown, please do let them know.
I think it would be very hard for anyone to watch it and not finish it with a better sense of just how utter was the horror that overwhelmed the Yazidis.

The #Yazidis deserve to be remembered.
