Films & Performances
A poster for the documentary "For Sama" shows a woman in a hijab holding a baby. They stand in a war-torn street with destroyed buildings. The poster features various film festival selections and quotes praising the film.

For Sama, A love letter from a mother to her daughter during war.

A panel with Waad and Hamza will follow the film that tells the story of Waad al-Kateab’s life through five years of the uprising in Aleppo, Syria as she falls in love, gets married and gives birth to Sama, all while cataclysmic conflict rises around her. Her camera captures incredible stories of loss, laughter and survival as Waad wrestles with an impossible choice – whether or not to flee the city to protect her daughter’s life, when leaving means abandoning the struggle for freedom for which she has already sacrificed so much. For Sama made history when it was nominated in four categories in the BAFTA awards, making it the most nominated documentary ever.
