Overview

Sand and Blood is a documentary film that presents the recent history of Iraq and Syria through the eyes of those who fled to Europe in recent years. Composed entirely of footage filmed by activists, fighters, and civilians on the ground, the film documents the fall of villages to Syrian regime forces, the atrocities of various armed factions, and the destruction of family homes. The protagonists — now living in Europe — watch this harrowing footage and speak candidly about their experiences of loss, displacement, and survival. A powerful and unflinching record of war told by those who lived it, Sand and Blood offers an unmediated perspective on one of the defining humanitarian crises of the modern era.
