Return to Homs

Filmed over three years, Return to Homs chronicles the experiences of Basset, a 19-year-old national football team goalkeeper who evolves from a demonstration leader to a militia leader, and Ossama, a 24-year-old citizen journalist whose pacifist views are challenged by the war. The documentary offers a unique perspective on how the turmoil of conflict reshapes personal beliefs and ambitions.

The film illustrates a city often discussed in global news but rarely shown from such a personal angle. By focusing on the lives of Basset and Ossama, the documentary presents a modern epic of youth caught in the chaos of war, highlighting their struggles and transformations. This film is significant for collectors interested in contemporary documentaries that address pressing global issues through personal narratives.
