About this book

A filmmaker records the testimonies of young people detained in Syrian prisons during the first months of the uprising. As she listens, her commitment to documenting their experiences collides with her own background in a family close to the regime. Mohammad Al Attar’s play examines the ethics of testimony, the camera’s power and the divided loyalties of a society entering revolution. Its deceptively simple question—can you look at the camera?—becomes a demand to face both witness and complicity.
