Director Waai Akatib will always remember a mother yelling, take it, take it, and let the world see what happened. At the time, next to this woman was a dead baby-not more than a year old, and she tried to tell him that she brought him milk during the siege. In the revolution that broke out in Syria, Akatib recorded this disastrous revolution
. During the filming of "For Sama"director Waai Akatib witnessed a lot of massacres. Her shots have been rolling and recorded some cruel scenes, including many pictures of dead children, Akati Bu took the shooting as a rebellion and recorded the atrocities committed by the Russian army supporting Assad against civilians in Aleppo
. During the six months of the siege, Akatib shot 500 hours of film, first with a mobile phone and then with a video camera. She learned how to use them to shoot. With the help of Edward Watts, a freelance filmmaker working on Channel 4 in the UK, Akatib learned to tailor and use a lot of footage to describe the city’s war and destruction

I believe that if it was filmed by the Syrian government, it would be a completely different story, but the right to speak is in the hands of Westerners. It's just a hypocritical title for Samar, and the core is actually a political propaganda film.

During the daytime watching on New Year’s Eve, happy and noisy firecrackers sounded around the home from time to time, while the documentary made the horrible and cruel bomb explosions from time to time, making us on the same earth as if we were living in two different worlds. We often pray for world peace, but the wish of world peace is often difficult to realize. —— Waad: Yes, I am afraid of death, but I am most afraid of losing you. Sama, I made this movie for you. I want you to understand why your father and I made these decisions. What are we fighting for?
