SYNOPSIS
What if Maryam hadn't been in Tabqa in 2017 with the Arab 24 team to interview Adwan Hamza Ali? Would he have stepped on a rudimentary bomb and died? Haunted by these questions, this film is a journey to bring together the fragmented memories of journalists suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. A journey that begins in Syria with the story of Maryam and continues in Iraq, meeting journalists, Peshmerga fixers and Kurdish deminers whose work to rebuild their country is far from over.
