Overview

Rijal Al-Izz — Men of Honor — is a 2011 Syrian historical drama set in the Saroujeh neighborhood of Damascus during the French occupation of the 1930s. The series centers on Abd Al-Rahman Al-Shami, an innocent man condemned to death by an unjust sentence who escapes execution and transforms into a resistance fighter feared by the French forces. Starring Rashid Assaf and Qusai Khouli, the drama immerses itself in the texture of old Damascus — its alleys, its codes of honor, and the complex interplay of collaboration and defiance within the community itself. A richly atmospheric period piece about courage, injustice, and the spirit of a people under occupation.
