Documentary raising awareness about plight of Christians in the Middle East

(WJBK) - As the fight against the Islamic State group in the middle east and around the world continues, United States Secretary of State John Kerry determined that the Islamic State group is committing genocide against Christians and other minorities in Iraq and Syria.

A new, local documentary brings to light the plight of Christians in the Middle East. The documentary is called "Marked: The Untold Story of the Iraqi Christians."
