At a wake Sheikha Kamo starts singing the Song of Gazelle recalling an 1837 attack on Sinjar and the kidnapping of a Yezidi woman, Gazelle. (Previously she was singing laments about the ISIS attack on Sinjar and talking about Yezidi history and the fermans against Yezidis.) She stops because of the noise.
