Spring Reign
Inthe besieged city of Aleppo, Salah and Aisha have lost control of their lives, and are falling headlong into an uncertain future. The Syria they hoped to change is gone, in its place, violence and destruction - the arbitrary brutality of war.
With the unexpected arrival of two Westerners, who have stayed too long in Syria and mustnow be given refuge,the fragile existence of the Syrian couple comes under even greaterthreat. How will they survive as they fall further away from hope, from what they know and from what they used to be?
'We fight by stayingin Aleppo. We resist Bashar by staying in Aleppo and not dying.'
Originated and directed by Benedict power, and scripted by award winning writer Rob Johnston, Spring Reign is based on real-life accounts collected from Syrian refugees, aid workers, activists, and journalists featuring live performance, video, original music performed by Chris Davies, and frontline photography by Musa Chowdhury.
