    'For Sama' - film made in Aleppo Archived Message

    The producer and the mother of the baby were given time on Sky News just now, enlarging on the horrors of living under the bombardment of Aleppo.

    More of the same like the Dr Nott/Rola Hallam output. It is all so predictable on the MSM. Waad mentioned Assad and the 'Russians'.

    This is a review of the film.

    War And Terror In Aleppo
    For Sama, a film set in war-ravaged east Aleppo and winner of the Cannes Film Festival’s 2019 Prix L’Œil d’Or for best documentary, is sure to make waves at other film festivals. It has big backers: Britain’s Channel 4 News and America’s Public Broadcasting Service and it conforms with UK and US foreign policy on Syria.

    At the heart of the film is a young Syrian woman, Waad al-Kateab, who falls in love, marries, gives birth to a daughter she calls Sama, while the noise, dust, blood and tragedy of the war in Syria threaten to engulf her.'

    Susan Dirgham gives the background in much detail.

    Remembering Robert Stuart's excellent work on the state broadcaster's output.

    PS Waste of time putting any comments on Craig Murray lately. Instant deletion of many including one on the imminent 9 day visit to SA by Meghan and Harry - the cost, the point of it, does SA need it at this stage, who wants them, etc

    It' a jolly holiday ffs.
