SYNOPSIS
An aspiring video journalist in her 20s finds herself already facing self-reckoning. Born in Damascus, Syria, Lina starts to report on the events around her until she is compelled to become a war reporter and later, an unexpected narrator of her own destiny.
Told over the course of a decade and against the backdrop of shifting historical forces, “5 Seasons of Revolution” is Lina’s story; the tale of becoming brave.
