For Sama (2019)

December 31, 2019 7:30 AM

FOR SAMA is both an intimate and epic journey into the female experience of war.

It is available to watch online, in the UK on 4OD and I believe in the US via PBS.

I watched this last night and thought it was extraordinary. It broke me and rebuilt me repeatedly in its 90 minute running time. Devastating, yet it also oozes hope.

I really think it is a film people should watch if they can but be aware that it is tough going. It has real, raw, unbearable grief.

But it also has life. Literally life springing forth before your eyes. And hope, resilience, humanity, beauty, love.
