The War Show plot

The war in Syria, seen through the eyes of a Damascus radio host. Obaidah Zytoon plays banned music on the radio when the 2011 uprising breaks out. She also takes to the streets, along with her friends: a poet, an activist, an architecture student and a dentist. This is her chosen family, who we come to know as playful, free spirits, creative and full of life. Obaidah embarks on a journey across the country to document the changes in Syria with her camera. But instead, she unwittingly descends further and further into the escalating war. Soon the demonstrations turn into funerals. Starvation or obedience, is Assad's tactic. Some of her friends end up very badly...
