“Batata” Documentary Screening

October 1, 2024 @ 12:00 am - October 15, 2024 @ 11:59 pm

With over 13 million displaced, the Syrian Refugee Crisis remains the largest human forced migration crisis of our times. Shot over an unparalleled 10 years, Syrian-Lebanese-Armenian Director Noura Kevorkian’s intimate camera follows the plight of Maria and her family of Syrian migrant workers who find themselves unable to return back to their hometown of Raqqa, Syria. Unique among the numerous refugee stories to date, the Peabody and Amnesty Award-winning film BATATA captures an entire decade while documenting not just the age-old conflict between two nations, but the unbending spirit of a woman who puts family ahead of all else.

The film will be available to stream until October 15.
