Ma'a al-Fidda plot

During his political exile in Paris, Syrian filmmaker Ossama Mohammed received a remarkable message via Facebook from the young Kurdish teacher and activist Wiam Simav Bedirxan from Homs. “If you were here with your camera, what would you be filming?” He then edited the film footage that she herself shot in the besieged city alongside fragments from “1001” videos posted online, made with mobile phones under heavy shelling and aerial bombardment. Blood is spilled, a lot of blood, civilians are tortured, executed. No one can look away anymore. But this is more than a documentary about the tribulations of ordinary Syrians. It also shows in reflective commentary what cinema can mean in times of war.
