5 SEASONS OF REVOLUTION

  • Lina

Syrian video journalist Lina documents the hopes of her friends, the demonstrations, and ultimately how the country is collapsing in a merciless civil war. Friends despair; friends die. Lina keeps filming, assuming different identities. She is arrested, survives prison and manages to escape.
