The Filmmakers Helin Celik and Martin Klingenböck visit the two women and their families in a camp for refugees in southern Turkey. The documentary was awarded the Documentary Film Prize at the ethnocineca Film Festival Vienna. Due to the massacre of their people by the terrorist organisation "Islamic State", the two women try to maintain a feeling of everyday life. The film is not superficially about the tragedy of the fate of the refugees. "WHAT THE WIND TOOK AWAY tells the story of the two Jesidesses and their way of dealing with their fate in a sensitive way." (ethnocineca.at)
