The documentary FOR SAMA takes us inside the heartbreaking suffering of the people of Aleppo during the long and brutal siege by al Assad and the Russians. Waad al-Kateab began shooting students spraying revolutionary graffiti on university walls. The revolution rises around her – as does the overwhelming response. Best Doc, 2019 Cannes Film Festival and Doc Grand Jury Prize, 2019 SXSW Film Festival. I interview directors Waad al-Kateab and Edward Watts, and Dr. Hamza al-Kateab, who ran the last hospital in East Aleppo. Don’t miss this podcast. You will get a unique feel for Syria.
