A Tale Of Two Syrias is a snapshot of life before Syria’s uprising began, seen through the eyes of two people: Salem, an Iraqi refugee and fashion designer in Damascus and Botrus, a monk in the remote hillside monastery of Mar Musa.
This film is about their dreams, discussions, and questions around freedom and choice in the year before Syria descended into serious conflict.
