For Sama

This is not just a normal movie that is based on a true story. This is a true story of true heroes who fought for their dignity and to save lives whilst others were enjoying their afternoon tea. All scenes are real and nothing has been reproduced in studios.

I have seen this movie 3 times and will keep watching it as a reminder to what I couldn't do.

This movie is not something you can simply miss.

One of the best films I have ever seen. It has the story , plot , background music and I am sure that you will cry. Personally I cried almost 15 times because I am from Aleppo and I know the characters personally. If you want to get an idea about Syria/ Aleppo, the film is highly recommended.

You will never see a film like this in your life. Joy, laughter, fear, Suspence, Thriller, Drama, Family, Horror - it is a documentary that tells a story using fictional devices by way of voiceover, narration, a novel approach to a heart-thumping action filled documentary. Waad is an brave filmmaker in her own right and courage is the only virtue a filmmaker needs.

All I a left to say is, You will never see a film like this in your life. This film is destined for the BIG WINS this year.

This film looks at the war in Syria through an entirely new lens. Its footage and narrative is chilling and thought-provoking. I'm not surprised at all that the film won both "Best Documentary" and the "Audience Award - Best Documentary" at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival. It deserves those accolades and more.

For Sama is not a film. It's rather a complete work of art. Highly recommended watching it and changing your typical heroes to Waad, Hamza, Afraa, and the rest of the angle guys. Can't recommend it enough. With respect and love ❤
