The Final Scene - A hidden revolution: peace turns to violence

This action-packed documentary takes us back to the first year of the Syrian revolution through the lens of Orwa Al Mokdad, an activist who documented the early moments of the uprising.

After fleeing to Lebanon, Orwa entrusted his footage to his brother Eyas, a filmmaker in Belgium, who was working on a film to capture the peaceful essence of the revolution. As Eyas delves into the footage, he uncovers a different side of his brother's journey and the stark realities faced by Orwa and his comrades. The documentary reveals the painful transition of a peaceful movement into one marred by violence and betrayal as the Syrian regime distorted the revolution's original ideals, leaving defeat and loss in its wake.
