Produced and narrated by journalist Waad Al-Kateab, For Sama presents an intimate and confronting portrait of life and motherhood in a war zone.

For Sama became the most-nominated documentary to date at the BAFTA awards, where it also won Best Documentary. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. ‘…a bracingly horrific but resiliently beautiful documentary’ – IndieWire
