FOR SAMA – Documentary
For Sama is an award-winning documentary by 26-year old Waad al-Kateab, who filmed her life in Aleppo through 5 years of the Syrian civil uprising.
It’s a story of love, political resistance, and a ruthless war. The film was written as a love letter from al-Kateab, to her daughter, Sama, born during the war, which shares the agony between choosing to flee to protect her daughter’s life, when leaving means abandoning the struggle for freedom for which al-Kateab and her husband had already sacrificed so much.
