This film is part of the Syrian Voices project supported by TORCH as part of the Humanities Cultural Programme. Arwa is a short documentary following a young actress as she's forced to make a dramatic escape from war in Damascus and tries to rebuild her life and career in the UK. Syrian Voices is a new community history and documentary film project seeing the Syrian crisis from the unique perspectives of refugees now settled in the UK. Syrians from diverse backgrounds and all walks of life candidly share their experiences. Using filmed testimonies, zoom recordings, home videos and photographs, Syrian Voices bears witness to the worst humanitarian catastrophe of this century and offers an insight into what it means to be a war refugee living in Britain today.
