Nezouh (12A) + Q&A with director Soudade Kaadan + Mark Macdonald
Free Senior Community Screening
Delicately weaving lightness and magical realism among heart-breaking desolation, Soudade Kaadan’s drama delivers a powerful and moving perspective on the Syrian conflict.
In collaboration with UK for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's national charity partner, we are hosting a screening of Soudade Kaadan's film following the story of a family living in war-torn Damascus.
We are thrilled to be joined by director Soudade Kaadan for a Q&A, hosted by the charity.
14-year-old Zeina and her family are the last to have stayed in their besieged hometown of Damascus in Syria. A missile rips a giant hole in their home. When a rope is mysteriously lowered into the hole, Zeina gets her first taste of freedom, and an unimaginable world of possibility opens up for her.
Faced with a life or death dilemma, Zeina and her mother must make the choice whether to stay or leave.
This stunning drama from Soudade Kaadan’s Venice Film Festival award-winner offers a powerful and moving perspective on the Syrian conflict.
