The film features compelling candid testimonies of Syrian refugees who wish to convey their situation to the world with a sense of growing urgency. Scored to Gabriel Faure's Requiem, the documentary is an unflinching portrait of the dire conditions and anxiety faced by refugees, as well as a celebration of the human spirit facing adversity. Despite the bleak plight of the refugees, this is a film of hope. This is a film of tremendous suffering and even greater courage, and a universal reminder of the civilian toll and trauma of modern warfare. Requiem for Syrian Refugees is an artistic statement against overwhelming indifference to the suffering of millions, and a non-partisan call for humanity and compassion.}, recid = {1355360}, pages = {1 online resource (71 minutes)}, }
