Updated website & new focus on genocide of Yezidi
By Kelly Thoma | Production Manager, 3 Generations
Our next project will focus on the Yezidi victims of ISIS in Iraq. There are an estimated one million Yezidi worldwide and over half are currently living in Iraq, at great risk, with horrific and disturbing stories to share. At 3 Generations we are determined to bring these vital stories to public attention. As we develop new partnerships with Yezidi survivors we will endeavor to bring those stories to you as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile we have continued to spread awareness through stories of genocide and persecution of populations across our social media channels, including our website. We have recently added an interactive map to our website. Now visitors can see the countries where we work and can easily view all the interviews from any given country by topic, for example, the genocide in Rwanda. We encourage you to take a look at the map and accompanying short films as we regularly add new interviews and short videos.

Continuing The Fight
By Luke Sutton | Development and Operations Associate

The last few months have been filled with exciting events at 3 Generations. Our short film Three, which documents the story of three Syrian refugees in Jordan, recently premiered at the Socially Relevant Film Festival in New York City on March 17th. We were thrilled to have several members of our team at the event to see the reaction the film received.
In continuation of our efforts to have genocide included in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, we hosted environmental lawyer Polly Higgins on April 20th in New York City. Ms. Higgins spoke on many pressing issues within the topic of ecocide, and we were happy to be able to engage community members in conversation.
3 Generations Executive Director Jane Wells and Intern Luis Rivera-Nesrala also took part in the 2nd Annual Glocal Symposium at New York University on April 23rd. Rivera-Nesrala gave a presentation on Syrian refugees and how Western media has mischaracterized their true situation.
Our ability to honor these individuals and organizations is all thanks to our generous supporters just like you. We are dedicated to continuing our work in the fight to end genocide. We invite you to check out our website, www.3generations.org, for updates on this and all of our many projects.

New areas in our fight

Here at 3 Generations we have been hard at work continuing the fight to bring the stories of genocide survivors to light. There are so many harrowing stories to be told from brave individuals who overcame true horror, and we are proud to highlight some of these stories.
As the crisis in Syria continues, we have begun to incorporate survivors of this issue into our gameplan. We are excited to be working on multiple projects that highlight the tremendous bravery shown by survivors of the Syrian refugee crisis. We are also continuing work on our feature film "Beyond The Borders" to highlight refugees currently in exile awaiting placement in a new country.
We have also been working to bring the issue of environmental genocide to greater light. As our environment continues to be greatly impacted by climate change, more and more individuals will see their homes disaapear from beneath their feet. They are left in search of a new home, and the major issue of climate refugees is already well underway. We are committed to giving these individuals a voice.
