Return to Homs

Filmed over 3 years in Homs, accompanying 2 outstanding young men from the time they were only dreaming of freedom to the time when they are forced to change course. Basset, the 19 year old national football team goalkeeper, who became a demonstration leader, then an icon revolution singer, till he becomes a militia leader. Ossama, his 24 year old friend, a citizen journalist, cynical pacifist, whose views are forced to change, until he is detained by thesecret service. It is the story of a city, of which the world heard a lot of, but never really got close to. Return to Homs is a modern times epic of youth in war, forced to make choices.
