Our Memory Belongs to Us
Nearly ten years after the beginning of the Syrian revolution, three Syrian activists – Yadan, Odai and Rani – reunite on a stage in Paris. Through life-size projections onto a big screen, Syrian director Rami Farah confronts the three men with brutal footage, some of it their own, depicting the events that changed their lives forever. They reflect on their personal journeys, revive their collective memory, and wonder what is left of their hopes and dreams. Their reunion is a unique window into the complexity of the situation in Syria: how a peaceful uprising was replaced by a ferocious war.
