SYRIA ON FILM

How to support the Syrian democrats in their daily resistance? What can cinema do to help people who try to make their voice heard at the risk of their own lives? The war in Syria has been raging since March 2011: bloody dictatorship on one side, jihadists and terrorists on the other. Despite the horror suffered by the civilian population, the word and artistic creation seem to have liberated themselves. Films and debates try to shed a light on one of the darkest pages in the Middle East’s recent history.
