The civil war in Syria began in 2011 and continues to this day. At 3 Generations, we began our research and story-gathering to tell the stories of Syrian victims in 2013. Since then we have produced a feature documentary - Lost in Lebanon - and a short film - Three - as well as a series of videos on this tragic conflict.
Most of the news is dismal. There are now more than 400,000 documented deaths, more than 5.6 million Syrians who have fled the country, more than 6 million people displaced internally and more than 1 million wounded.
An important part of our work at 3 Generations is keeping in contact with the survivors whose stories we tell and thus, we are delighted to share some good news and a glimmer of hope. One of the survivor/refugees profiled in each film has found sanctuary far from the conflict zone. One in Europe and one in South America (due to ongoing threats we are not at liberty to disclose more information). Thankfully there are others who try and mitigate this every day horror, like those who designed Hala Systems, which warns Syrians minutes before devastating attacks (read more here).
Refugee status is a difficult one - no passport, no security, no going home. It is life in limbo. And today there are more refugees in the world than ever before in human history. At 3 Generations, we monitor the situation there on a daily basis. Follow us on social media to see news and consider arranging a screening of either film in your community.
