Greetings from Aleppo

Short documentary, 2017, 17 min.

Since 2014, the Syrian photographer Issa Touma regularly returns to Aleppo, where his street turned into a frontline five years ago. In this documentary, he shows real life in his hometown is quite different from what news reports suggest. He films everyday events, visits family and friends and watches the unexploded bomb in his parents’ apartment. The absurd and moving aspects of survival in a war-torn city. This sequel to 9 Days - From My Window in Aleppo is an ode to resilience.
