Une famille syrienne

Philippe Van Leeuw

In an at-war Syria, countless families remained trapped by the bombing. Among them, a mother and her children try and hold on, hidden in their apartment. Courageously, they organize themselves from day to day to continue living despite shortages and danger. In solidarity, they gather together a couple of neighbours and their newborn. Torn between fleeing and staying, they face each day confronted by their situation and remaining hopeful.GPHQ, PCS
