Salam Neighbor (2015)
Fantastic Documentary - Does an amazing job of humanizing an incomprehensible tragedy.
23 April 2016
Salam Neighbor does an amazing job of humanizing the Syrian refugee situation. The numbers of refugees and deaths are incomprehensible, and therefore difficult for us to truly "empathize". By being the first non-refugees to be given permission to actually live in Za'atari Camp, filmmakers Chris Temple and Zach Ingrasci have a perfect vantage point for sharing with viewers intimate images of the impact of this war on ordinary Syrians. Through the eyes of parents, grandparents and young children, we experience their trauma and struggles firsthand. We come to know and love the characters. The film is brilliant, and this is an amazing movie, which should be seen by everyone interested in the Syrian situation.
