Ossama Mohammed, Syria 1978, 23 Min., OV with English subs
Followed by a talk with Lama Ahmad

The film by Ossama Mohammed is a reflection on the foundation of the Syrian society in 1976. The film starts off hopefully enough, with different village children talking about their dream jobs. But it soon becomes clear that such innocent candour will be short-lived.

Lama Ahmad is a former Syrian diplomat. At bi'bak she talks about the establishment of the Syrian society and the effects of the Ba'ath regime on it.
