Director Alexandria Bombach avoids the details of Murad's brutal captivity, showing instead the intense pressure and responsibility the 23-year-old feels as a spokesperson for her people.
Festivals like Sundance offer many films about activism and politics and human rights, but Alexandria Bombach's documentary On Her Shoulders feels decidedly different.
Being in the same room with Nadia says enough in the very powerful On Her Shoulders, even when she is alone with her thoughts.
People like Nadia can't fix the world, but this vital documentary is proof that it's heroic enough just to be heard.
A compelling look at the toll activism takes.
We need more movies like this to remind us of the importance of human dignity, encouraging others to carry the burden of finding a solution on their shoulders, as well.
