Why the last Jews of Syria are staying connected to their roots. Two years ago, in the early hours of 6 February, an earthquake measuring 7.
The Syrian filmmaker and activist woke up late that morning at her home in East London. She immediately called her family to check if they were alright. Thankfully, they were okay, but many others were not. The film is distressing but vital, with people trapped under the rubble filming their last messages to their loved ones. Outside, people use their bare hands to comb through the ruins desperately trying to reach survivors as they yell for help. More than 60, people were killed in the twin earthquakes β a second quake with a magnitude of 7.
It displaced millions, including many Syrians who had already been displaced by war. Waad went through hundreds of hours of CCTV and first-person documentary footage from under and above the rubble, as well as a drone, news and archival footage. The film captures the utter destruction of the earthquake; at first, grainy CCTV shows telegraph poles beginning to shake, and then the first building crumbles like a Jenga tower. Clouds of dust chase people down the street.
