Return to HomsTalal Derki

The Syrian city of Homs was one of the earliest pockets of resistance against President Bashar al-Assad. Initially there was only peaceful protest but as the army turned more violent, the resistance took up arms too. Among them, 19-year-old Basset, the charismatic keeper of the national football team, and 24-year-old media activist and cameraman Ossama. The opening film of IDFA is a rare intimate portrait of the Syrian civil war and an unmistakable call to the international community to finally open their eyes and acknowledge this protracted conflict.
