A Tale Of Two Syrias is a snapshot of life before Syria’s uprising began, seen through the eyes of two people.
Salem is an Iraqi fashion designer in Damascus. Botrus lives a remote existence in a hillside monastery. This consistently insightful and unexpected documentary offers a unique perspective on what the dream of freedom means to two very different people in the face of a brutal regime, creating a vital snapshot of life in the year before Syria’s uprising.
This film is about their dreams, discussions, and questions around freedom and choice in the year before Syria descended into serious conflict.
“Through these glimpses into two very different lives, Fedda illustrates a nation built from interwoven narratives that defy the simple categorisations placed on it by outside observers. The hopes, needs and emotional depth of her subjects remind us how many more stories there are still to be told. They will make your heart break over the country’s current suffering but inspire you with hope for its future.”
