During this time, she struggles whether or not to flee the city to protect her daughter's life and abandon the struggle for freedom.
Waad al-Kateab is a Syrian journalist and filmmaker who works for Channel 4 News in London. Edward Watts is an Emmy Award-winning, BAFTA filmmaker who has directed over 29 documentary and narrative films.
