Daraya, la bibliothèque sous les bombes (2023)

Between past and present, this film follows three friends after they meet during the Syrian revolution of 2011. Despite the relentless bombardment of Damascus, and never giving up their cultural resistance and pacifist stance, they salvage books from the rubble to build a clandestine library that soon becomes a haven of peace, freedom and democracy. Their story, meticulously filmed and documented, speaks to us of hope and survival.
