Syrian filmmaker Waad Al-Kateab on telling stories that matter | The InnerView

In this moving discussion, Waad Al-Kateab tells Imran Garda what it was like to be under the bombs in Aleppo and why she turned on her camera to bear witness.

Horrified by the international community’s inaction at the continued atrocities in Syria, she took it upon herself to ensure that her story and the story of the Syrian people would not be forgotten.

Her documentary ‘For Sama’ chronicles the lives of Waad, her family and friends through five years of the Syrian uprising and siege of Aleppo.

The film won numerous international awards and was nominated for an Oscar, underlining its profound impact.

Now residing in the UK, Al-Kateab discusses her life after fleeing Aleppo and her hopes for peace and justice in her beloved Syria.

Her journey has led her to become an accomplished international filmmaker, collaborating with the likes of Angelina Jolie and directing ‘We Dare to Dream’, an intimate portrait of refugee athletes at the Olympic games.
