Gianfranco Rosi's new documentary is an immersive portrait of those trying to survive in the war-torn Middle East.
Though the fim begins with an introductory text on the modern history of the Middle-East, it focuses on specific scenes and people at the seeming end to the current phase of the conflicts. Some scenes depict the mundane day to day existence of the wars that seem to be never-ending, while in others people are trying to reconcile what they have experienced through art. There is also the element of the environment in how the wars effect nature itself. Though sad in nature, the visuals of the film are stunning and immersive.
