Syria in focus: Q&A with the director and producer behind ‘Death Without Mercy’
In collaboration with the non-profit organization Finjan, The Youth Editorial Group is presenting a double event with two separate screenings of 'Little Syria' and 'Death Without Mercy' including a concert in the middle with OUD AND VOICE and a Q&A with the director and producer after the second screening. We are doing this to bring focus on the situation in Syria and mark our solidarity with the Syrian people - in Denmark, Syria and the rest of the world. Tickets are bought separately for the screenings but the concert is open to anyone.
Join us for a Q&A with renowned filmmakers, director Waad Al-Kateab and producer Hasan Kattan behind ‘Death Without Mercy’. After the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that left 50,000 people dead in Turkey and Syria, the documentary follows two Syrian families over the course of 10 days as they piece together the tragedy and uncover the corruption and government incompetence that exacerbated the disaster and its response.
TV host Solaf Masoud will interview Al-Kateab and Kattan about their thoughts behind the film, their reflections on creating films about disasters and the process of producing a film that holds those in power accountable for their lack of action. At the end, the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions.
