Overview

A Declaration of War is a film by director Ely Dagher that meditates on the aftermath of a catastrophic explosion — instantaneous in its violence yet endless in its reverberations. The film traces the energy released by destruction as it migrates through survivors: transforming into rage, grief, hope, and despair. Every morning demands the act of getting out of bed as the days accumulate. With the explosion leaving an open wound, the film asks where all that energy ultimately goes — a poetic inquiry into trauma, resilience, and the will to live.
