For Sama , by Bill Hicks on Nov 18, 2019 20:47:26 GMT 1, Any info if this is available to stream, quick search I am coming up empty. My name is Waad al-Kateab. I am a Syrian filmmaker. I now live in London with my family, but Aleppo is my hometown.
In 2011, when I was studying at the University of Aleppo, peaceful protests against the Assad regime began. When Assad's forces started to use violence to silence protestors, I decided to film what I saw.
I used my phone to film at first. I had to be careful, but I also knew this was something I had to do. I was living on the front line; living through the catastrophic chaos that was destroying my people, my town, my home. I filmed the protests, the injuries, the massacres. I filmed the doctors, the patients, and the parents whose children were killed. I filmed my own life too; my love, my wedding, the birth of my first baby, Sama.
Every day I was filming, I was expecting it to be the last day of my life. For me, as for many other activists, all we wanted was to have evidence about what was happening on the ground to counter the lies the regime was propagating.
After working on a Channel 4 News story, an opportunity came to make a feature documentary using the 500 hours of footage Iโd filmed every day for five years. I never expected it to happen. This was my chance to share my story with the world. This was my chance to speak to Sama, my daughter. I made it for her.
Tomorrow (Tuesday, 19 November), PBS is broadcasting โFor Samaโ at 10pm ET / 9pm CT. If youโre in the United States, please watch the film and ask your friends and family to watch it too.
My last day of filming these war crimes in Syria was three years ago. But the attacks on the Syrian people have only grown worse since then. Just this week, harrowing reports have emerged of further attacks on homes and hospitals in Aleppo and Idlib by the Syrian regime and Russia.
For Sama is so much more than a film to me. When I started working on it many people told me that no one will be interested in a film about Syria. But since its release, I have been overwhelmed by the positive reaction from people around the world who loved the film, related to my experience as a woman and mother, and wanted to do more. This has given me a huge boost to work harder and use the documentary to create awareness and push for accountability for war crimes. We have launched a campaign to help do that.
I am happy that "For Sama" will enter many American homes through PBS Frontline. Please watch, share, and take action.

For Sama , by Bill Hicks on Dec 30, 2020 21:37:09 GMT 1, What a year it has been. A tough year filled with horror, sadness and glimpses of hope.
In February I stood on the stage at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards with my husband, daughter and dear friend to collect the best documentary award for my film, For Sama, which captures life in a hospital in Aleppo under heavy bombardment. I dedicated the award to the medics, humanitarians and White Helmets in Syria and called on the world to hear their voices.
Calling on the world to hear our voice is the daily mission of my friends at The Syria Campaign. Iโm writing to you as their partner and as a supporter of their work at the end of this unprecedented year. The ninth year of the Syrian conflict has seen some of its very worst months, it has seen COVID bring an already shattered health system to its knees and Assadโs regime brazen in its continued use of intimidation and detention as a tactic of fear and control.
As the bombs were falling on Idlib at the start of 2020, The Syria Campaign team stood with me and other organisations outside the United Nations in New York demanding an end to the bombing of hospitals. I was with them in Koblenz, Germany, when brave women from Families for Freedom took the plight of their disappeared loved ones to the worldโs first trial against Syrian state-sponsored torture in detention centres.
Iโm so grateful for the work of The Syria Campaign. This year they have continued to amplify the work of heroes in their struggle for freedom and democracy even when the rest of the world is too busy to pay attention. Wherever decisions on Syria were being made, they were there raising the alarm and demanding action - from the UN Security Council, to the World Health Organisation, the UN Human Rights Council, and capitals around the world. They have elevated the calls of families of those kidnapped by ISIS and teachers working on the frontline.
Next year marks ten years of the Syrian conflict. I know there is so much more work to be done together and I urge you to join us by donating to The Syria Campaign today.

P.S. A group of generous donors have pledged to double up to $20,000 that we raise in donations. That means that if you donate now, the impact of your donation will be doubled.
