UPDATE: We are thrilled to announce that the executive producers of Queens of Syria will be joining us for a Q&A after the film screening.
Documentary about fifty women from Syria, all forced into exile in Jordan. In 2013 they came together to create and perform their own version of 'The Trojan Women', the timeless ancient Greek Tragedy about the plight of women in war. This was an extraordinary project of cross-cultural contact across millennia, in which women born in the 20th century in Syria found a vivid mirror of their own experiences in the stories of a queen, princesses and ordinary women like them; uprooted, enslaved and bereaved by Trojan War.
