CONTACT ME
I was born in 1988, and I spent most of my life living in Aleppo and Qamishli. Before leaving Syria in 2014, I worked as a journalist and a photographer for international media. I mainly covered the civil war and the war on the so-called Islamic State on the ground.
Based in Sweden. I am also the Swedish producer for Our War, a full-length documentary, which was presented at the Venice Film Festival in 2016 and showed around Europe.
