LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS TRULY TRANSCENDENT, TRAGICALLY REDEMPTIVE FILM...GO SEE IT WHEN IT OPENS THIS WEEKEND!...The film is a breathtaking portrait of resilience & sacrifice; Waad and her husband Hamza could have left the city, but they chose to stay to help the many victims of the bombings perpetrated by the Syrian government...For Sama ultimately resonates as a heartfelt love letter to Aleppo, its people and the power of goodness in the face of evil...it paints an extraordinary picture of the toll of the war on ordinary lives. The film also stands out as an indictment of the rest of the world for its neglect of the tragedy of Syria.
