Batata

The year 2022 marked the 10th anniversary of the Syrian refugee crisis. With over 13 million displaced, it remains the largest human forced migration crisis of our times. Shot over an unparalleled 10 years, Lebanese-Syrian director Noura Kevorkian’s intimate camera follows the plight of Maria and her family of Syrian migrant workers who find themselves unable to return to their hometown of Raqqa. Unique among the numerous refugee stories to date, Batata captures an entire decade—documenting not just the conflict, but the unbending spirit of a woman and her family.

Join director Noura Kevorkian and producer Paul Scherzer for a post-screening Q&A.
