So pleased @forsamafilm documentary won this award. It's a moving and eye-opening account by @waadalkateab who made the film for her baby daughter to explain the struggle of those fighting for a better #Syria. A must-see for diplomats. This is what happens when diplomacy fails twitter.com/BIFA_film/stat…

"It's not just about Syria, it's about every one of you. It's about a country who just dreams of having freedom and dignity".@waadalkateab and @watts_edward swept #BIFA2019, taking home 4 awards including Best British Independent Film for their must-see film @ForSamaFilm! pic.twitter.com/JExNQvCkbN
