Eternal sentinel
What if Maryam hadn't been in Tabqa in 2017 with the Arab 24 team to interview Adwan Hamza Ali? Would he have stepped on a rudimentary bomb and died? Haunted by these questions, this film is a journey to bring together the fragmented memories of journalists suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. A journey that begins in Syria with the story of Maryam and continues in Iraq, meeting journalists, Peshmerga fixers and Kurdish deminers whose work to rebuild their country is far from over.

THE DISAPPEARED
The fate of journalists kidnapped in Syria is a terrifying mystery. As of press time, at least 30 journalists, as well as a number of humanitarian actors, are languishing in captivity. In only a few cases do their colleagues or employers know where they are or who is determining their fate. In almost no cases have their captors made any effort to communicate. It is as if these unlucky men and women have simply disappeared. Covering wars is of course, a dangerous job; that's one of the things many war correspondents like about it. But Syria is dangerous in a way that is less thrilling than sickening. It is the apocalyptic mind-set of Islamic extremists that has, more than anything else, produced an existential threat to journalists -- though not only to them. Few Syrian journalists who have been kidnapped since August 2013 have been released. Adapted from the source document.

THE COST OF FREEDOM
On February 14, the former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was killed in a brutal bombing, and the weeks of peaceful protest against Syria that followed his assassination - along with consistent coverage by the country's media - are widely credited with playing a significant role in Syria's decision to withdraw from Lebanon after roughly thirty years of occupation. In recent years, the columnist Samir Kassir of An-Nahar led the pack; his 2001 column, WHO ARE YOU A SOLDIER AGAINST?, blasted the military and intelligence forces for misusing their power to restrain free speech and political activism, a subject he returned to time and again. Some journalists and observers say that much of the serious investigation into the trail of financial support and logistical links between the Assad regime in Damascus, the remaining pro-Syrian elements within the Lebanese security apparatus, and the Hezbollah organization operating out of Lebanon's Palestinian refugee camps, ended after Rafik Hariri was killed.
