In "From Ghent to Damascus", two Belgians of Syrian origin, Salah Jaradeh and Turkieh Allour, make an emotional journey back to Syria after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. For the first time in a decade, they return to the streets of their childhood, unsure whether their home still stands, whether their neighbourhood survived or if their family members are even alive.
Guided by journalist Inge Vrancken, the documentary offers a rare and intimate look at the personal cost of conflict, blending human stories with on-the-ground reporting. A powerful and deeply moving exploration of identity, loss and hope that resonates far beyond Syria’s borders.
