Waad al-Kateab experiences five years of the uprising in Aleppo while falling in love, getting married and giving birth to her daughter Sama. Intimately personal and brutally honest, this incredible story reminds us that as the calamity of war rumbles on, individual lives are lived amongst it.
Her camera captures incredible stories of loss, laughter and survival as Waad wrestles with an impossible choice– whether or not to flee the city to protect her daughter’s life, when leaving means abandoning the struggle for freedom for which she has already sacrificed so much.
The film is the first feature documentary by Emmy award-winning filmmakers, Waad al-Khateab and Edward Watts.
