Amany Al-Ali is one of the few female cartoonists in Syria. She lives in Idlib, the only town not yet retaken by Assad's troops. She and her neighbours are trapped between Assad's advancing troops, extremist groups on the ground and Russian bombers. Threatened, denounced and humiliated, Amany wonders whether she can stay. This film is part of the "Draw for Change" collection created by Vincent Coen and Guillaume Vandenberghe.
