Her Stories: 11 Years of War in Syria

March 14, 2022

“Her Stories” is a documentary about three Syrian women—Fatmeh, Weam, and Malakeh—and their journeys as they survive displacement and war and fight for their families and their futures. Their stories shed light on the many challenges and triumphs of the refugee experience.
