The Syrian war started in 2011 during the Arab Spring with a civilian protest and has since then culminated in a bloody battle in which many parties joined. The end of the conflict is nowhere near in sight. What has 10 years of war meant for Syria, what is the current state of affairs and what future prospects do the people of Syria have?
In an evening of conversations, stories, performances and music, Médicins sans Frontières and De Balie delve into ten years of violent conflict in Syria.

Last December it was exactly 10 years ago since the beginning of Arab Spring. During these protests women played an important role. That’s why we screen two films on Picl which focus on the personal experience of these women fighting for change. This time: the Israeli film Bar Bahar.
De Balie and Human Rights Watch organise the Human Rights Weekend 2021 Opening Night. This year, we will online screen Reunited and an exclusive live programme via Zoom. Reunited (watch trailer here) is a story of love across borders, and the compromises a family must make when it is torn apart by circumstances beyond its control.
