A Call from Syrian Filmmakers
Received a mail today with a call from Syrian filmmakers to filmmakers everywhere. Subject of the mail was: Massacres in Syria: Petition to filmmakers.The text goes like this:
Peaceful Syrian citizens are being killed today for their demands of basic rights and liberties. It is the same oppression and corruption that kept Syrians prisoners and swallowed their freedom, properties and lives for decades, that is assassinating their bodies and dreams today. We, the undersigned Syrian filmmakers, believe that a reform which does not start with putting an end to security forces control over our people's lives and bodies, and with closing an era of shameful political imprisonment for good, is not enough. Hereby, we call on all filmmakers in the world to contribute to stopping the killing by exposing and denouncing it, and by announcing their solidarity with the Syrian people and with their dreams of justice, equality and freedom.
There is a petition that can be signed by you as well, go to
