The Yazidis still missing in Iraq

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

Some are buried in mass graves; others are still in the hands of Islamic State militants. Kate Adie introduces stories from Iraq, Chile, India, Colombia, and Sweden: Four years since IS swept through northern Iraq and carried out what the UN called a genocidal attack on the Yazidi people who lived there, Lyse Doucet returns to see what remains. Linda Pressly meets a Chilean woman who posed as a young boy online in her quest to get her local priesthood investigated. Vivienne Nunis learns how women and their pink rickshaws are transforming the working world in Jaipur - much to the disapproval of some local men. Nick Thorpe makes the long journey through the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range to reach the Ciudad Perdida - the Lost City which was abandoned by the indigenous people who once lived there when Spanish conquistadors arrived at the Colombian coast in the 16th century. And Gabriel Gatehouse has a mysterious but revealing encounter with a real-life troll in Stockholm. Producer: Joe Kent.
