A young woman is recording the testimonies of some fellow Syrians who were detained during the current uprising of the country. She finds that her position behind the camera is more ambiguous than she thought.

As she struggles to capture the revolution she finds herself in increasing danger and this clear mission soon changes to become a devastating one. Which lines can she safely cross?

The text is a mixture of true and fictional stories. An urgent and important new play direct from the Syrian revolution.
