Inspired by the 1936 photograph, Migrant Mother, by American photographer Dorothea Lange, Migrant Mothers of Syria prompts users to put the broken pieces of two homes back together while exploring six short documentaries about two Syrian mothers. By doing so, users are offered a glimpse into the lives these women left behind in Syria, their daily struggles as refugees in Lebanon and their hopes and dreams for the future of their children. By the end of the experience, users are left to reflect on notions of home, migration and exile as being part of a shared human experience that is not confined to any given race, culture or religion but that ultimately affects us all.

Directed by Anna Fahr (Lebanon)
