About
Hogir Hirori documents conflict and survival through award-winning documentaries that blur the line between observation and reconstruction. Born May 7, 1980, in Duhok, Kurdistan Region, Iraq, the Kurdish-Swedish film director gained international recognition for *The Deminer* (2017) and *Sabaya* (2021), the latter winning the Guldbagge Award and the director's award at Sundance. As a Taurus, Hirori channels the sign's trademark persistence into stories about displacement and resilience.
★ FEATURE
Biography
*Sabaya* made Hirori's name globally: the 2021 documentary about the liberation of enslaved Yazidi women from ISIS won the Guldbagge Award and the director's award at Sundance Film Festival. His earlier work, *The Deminer* (2017), profiled a Kurdish disarmer and established his signature style—intimate portraiture of conflict's aftermath. Hirori works as a screenwriter and film director, roles that demand both visual craft and narrative precision. Born in 1980 in Duhok, Kurdistan Region, Iraq, he later relocated to Sweden, a biographical arc reflected in his choice of subjects: displacement, survival, and the invisible labor of peacemaking. *Sabaya* faced criticism for staging scenes with women who hadn't consented to appear, raising questions about documentary ethics that Hirori has not fully addressed publicly. Life path 3 (derived from his birth date) aligns with his communicative, story-driven practice—the filmmaker as translator of untold experiences. Taurus persistence shows in his commitment to difficult subjects over multiple years.
