Homs, chronique d'une révolte
Synopsis
Summer of 2011. Abdel Basset Sarout, an already renowned 19-year-old footballer, becomes one of the leaders of the peaceful demonstrations in Homs that take to the streets every Friday in defiance of Bashar el-Assad's regime. His improvised songs against the dictatorship inflamed the city's youth. He is the leader of a fiery band of chabab (young people) determined to do battle with the regime, including a 24-year-old videographer, Osama, who prefers the role of witness to that of fighter. Little by little, under his eyes and those of director Talal Derki, as the regime targets the civilian population, the young dissidents are transformed into warriors. From autumn onwards, massive bombardments pounded the "capital of the revolution".
