CAVE, THE (2019)
Special Features: Oscar® nominee, Best Documentary Feature
Under the war-torn streets of Ghouta, Syria, is a hospital known as "The Cave," where pediatrician and managing physician Dr. Amani Ballour and her female colleagues attend to countless wounded civilians and victims of battle. In the confines of their subterranean hospital, they are not only equals with their male colleagues; they run the show. This unflinching and intimate film captures the resilience of the doctors, hospital workers and the Syrian people as they live through the unimaginable. Oscar®-nominated director Feras Fayyad (LAST MEN IN ALEPPO) shows us every raw and precious moment, from airstrikes in real time to meals shared among friends.
