Join us for a screening of the Academy Award–nominate documentary For Sama (2019) on Monday, February 17 at 7pm.

In a time of conflict and darkness in her home in Aleppo, Syria, one young woman kept her camera rolling — while falling in love, getting married, having a baby and saying goodbye as her city crumbled.

Directed by Waad al-Kateab and Edward Watts, the documentary For Sama unfolds as a love letter from al-Kateab to her daughter — Sama.
