For Sama

This BAFTA-winning, Oscar-nominated documentary was filmed inside the besieged city of Aleppo during the Syrian civil war. Shot over five years by journalist Waad Al-Kateab, it takes the form of a mother's love letter to her young daughter, Sama. Devastating and beautiful, it captures life, loss and defiance under relentless bombardment. For anyone seeking to understand the human cost of war, it is an unforgettable film.
