"For Sama" filmmakers on the record

FOR SAMA is one of the best feature documentaries of the year. It is an intimate video that takes the form of a letter from Waad al-Kateab, a 26-year old Syrian mother, to her new born daughter Sama recorded in the last days of the battle for Aleppo, Syria. A love letter from a young mother to her daughter, the film tells the story of Waad al-Kateab’s life through five years of the uprising in Aleppo, Syria as she falls in love, gets married and gives birth to Sama, all while cataclysmic conflict rises around her. This is an epic journey into the female experience of war. On this episode of Westdoc Online, the two directors and the main subject of the film are interviewed by moderator Chuck Braverman. Waad Al-Khateab and Ed Watts are the directors, and Hamza Al-Khateab is the emergency room doctor and husband of the filmmaker, Waad. We hear their story and where they are now.
