OUR FEMININE WARS

Written By Alex Szalat

  • Directed by: Zaina Erhaim

  • Producer: Rohan Berry Crickmar

AWARDED BEST PROJECTS during the Third Workshop of Close up in Tbilissi, June 2024

The film follows filmmaker, Zaina Erhaim as she reconnects with two remarkable women she filmed during the conflict in Syria. Struggling to come to terms with the trauma, oppression and misogyny she faced, Zaina bears witness to their tales of survival and sacrifice in their new homes across the globe. As Zaina and her companions navigate the challenges of their new lives as refugees, the film explores the vital importance of sisterhood in the journey towards healing. Featuring personal storytelling and firstperson footage, the film is a tribute to the resilience of women who refuse to be silenced.
