People of the Wasteland, is a 2018 Syrian movie, directed by Heba Khaled. with a runtime of 21 minutes.
People of the Wasteland is an experimental short documentary film that immerses the viewer directly in the Syrian conflict through exclusive first-person Go-Pro footage shot on the front lines. As fighters navigate the chaos of war, the boundaries between right and wrong dissolve, leaving only the raw reality of survival. The film is a meditation on impermanence: in a land where both landscape and human life are obliterated by violence, only the camera endures, freezing fleeting moments into something eternal. A haunting and visually arresting work, it raises urgent questions about witness, memory, and what it means to document war from the inside.
