Our Last Stand

In Our Last Stand, Helma, an Assyrian-American schoolteacher from New York, spends her summer traveling to war-ravaged Syria and Iraq to raise awareness about the plight of Christian communities threatened by civil war and ISIS.

Helma's journey takes her from refugee camps in Iraq, to the militias retaking villages from ISIS in Hasakah, Syria, to Helma's family's hometown in Quamishli, Syria.
