Shot over an unparalleled 10 years, Syrian-Lebanese director Noura Kevorkian’s intimate camera follows the plight of Maria and her family of Syrian migrant workers who find themselves unable to return to their hometown of Raqqa, Syria. This Peabody Award nominated and Amnesty Award winning film captures an entire decade while documenting not only the age-old conflict between two nations, but also the unbending spirit of a woman who puts family ahead of all else.

The screening is supported by the Consulate General of Canada in New York
