Journal Article
A mother bears witness to the conflict in Syria
2019
Overview
Hamza, a young doctor, had watched colleagues, friends, and patients die under the rubble of another hospital destroyed by a Russian air strike. Since 2011, through the early student protests against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to the unremitting bombings of Aleppo's civilians in 2016, Waad al-Kateab unflinchingly held a camera to her own life story and events, both hopeful and shocking, as they unfolded. [...]named because it is intimately narrated by Waad to her baby, For Sama shows heartbreaking scenes that might otherwise stay hidden: of children bringing dying younger siblings to the hospital's care; mothers refusing to be parted from their toddlers' dead bodies; a pregnant woman injured near term whose apparently stillborn baby draws first breath; the undulating trails of blood lost by too many of the hundreds of patients Hamza and his colleagues treated day and night, in the midst of shelling, smoke, and chemical attacks.
