Oscar-nominated: A film shakes the world (2020x14)

Udgivelsesdato: Mar 31, 2020

Hope and horror can be close together: in the middle of the war, filmmaker Waad has her first daughter. She filmed her life in besieged Aleppo over five years. She turns it into a touching film diary for her daughter Sama. Waad's camera documents unbearable scenes from inside the Syrian war that have never been seen before. How do you survive when you are at your most vulnerable? For STRG_F, reporter Pia talks to the filmmaker about this time and today. The end of the war is now taking place in Idlib. Before the eyes of the world. Millions of people are still on the run, 60 percent of them children. They live in cramped and unsanitary conditions. Activist and filmmaker Waad appeals to everyone who is now sitting at home and looking after their own children: “Don’t forget these people, they need our help, even in times of Corona.”
