Wajd: Songs of Separation, is a Saudi movie, directed by Amar Chebib. with a runtime of 87 minutes.
Wajd: Songs of Separation is a profoundly moving documentary that offers an intimate window into the lives of three Syrian refugee musicians grappling with the trauma of war and displacement. Shot partly in Syria before the civil war erupted, the film weaves together vérité footage of the musicians' daily lives with bittersweet musical performances, traditional Sufi ceremonies, and lyrical imagery of a pre-war Syria that no longer exists. What unfolds is a cinematic meditation on grief, longing, faith, and the power of music to hold together what conflict has torn apart — a testament to the enduring human need for beauty and expression in the face of irreversible loss.
