Overview

Ayouni is a documentary that follows two prominent figures from the Syrian revolution, using their stories as a lens onto a larger, agonizing question: how does a society rebuild when its civil society has been systematically disappeared, killed, and scattered across continents? The film is both an intimate portrait and a political reckoning — tracking the human cost of a conflict that has gutted an entire generation of activists, intellectuals, and organizers. With the Arabic title meaning "my eyes" (a term of endearment), the film insists on the deeply personal stakes of collective loss and the near-impossible work of holding hope together across borders.
